Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a meat transfer vehicle, and more particularly to a meat transfer vehicle with a disinfection function. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing awareness of food safety, the hygiene and safety of meat products during transportation are receiving growing attention. Traditional meat transport vehicles are primarily used to transport meat from slaughterhouses to processing plants for further processing. However, during transportation, meat products are susceptible to external environmental influences, such as temperature changes and microbial contamination, which can affect their quality and safety.

[0003] To ensure the hygiene and safety of meat products during transportation, some meat transport vehicles with disinfection functions have emerged in the market. These vehicles are typically equipped with various disinfection equipment and technologies, such as ultraviolet disinfection, ozone disinfection, and spray disinfection, to reduce the growth and spread of microorganisms. However, existing disinfection methods may not be able to completely cover all areas inside the vehicle, especially corners and crevices, resulting in some areas not being effectively disinfected and posing a risk of bacterial and viral residues. Furthermore, some disinfection equipment is relatively slow, and when meat is stacked inside the vehicle, especially in situations requiring frequent loading and unloading, the meat stored at the bottom may be obscured by the upper layers of meat, making it difficult to ensure that all meat undergoes adequate disinfection during loading. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of some disinfection methods that may not be able to completely cover all areas inside the carriage, especially corners and crevices, resulting in some areas not being effectively disinfected and posing a risk of bacterial and viral residues, and the fact that some disinfection equipment is slow, when meat is stacked in the carriage, especially when there is frequent loading and unloading, the meat stored at the bottom is obscured by the upper layer of meat, making it difficult to ensure that the meat is adequately disinfected with each loading, the aim is to provide a meat transport vehicle with disinfection function that reduces the situation of meat being obscured by the carriage structure and ensures the effectiveness of the disinfection facilities on the meat.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: A meat transfer vehicle with disinfection function includes a frame, a base plate, a drive frame, a shell, pads, a sprayer, a liquid tank, a spray pipe, a cover plate one, a cover plate two, and a hydraulic cylinder two. The drive frame is rotatably mounted on the frame, the base plate is mounted on top of the drive frame, and the shell is mounted on top of the base plate. A unloading mechanism is provided inside the frame. The unloading mechanism pushes the drive frame to rotate clockwise upward, thereby causing the base plate and the shell to rotate upward. Multiple pads are evenly spaced inside the shell, and a hopper is fixed between the upper parts of the pads. The hopper is hollow and does not contact the shell. There is a gap between the outer wall of the hopper and the inner wall of the shell. A sprayer is provided on the left side of the shell, and the sprayer is equipped with... There are multiple liquid tanks containing disinfectant. The output end of the sprayer is inserted into the housing. Spray pipes are distributed on the front, back, sides and top walls of the housing. One end of each spray pipe is connected to the output end of the sprayer. Several spray nozzles are provided on the spray pipes. There are two feeding ports on the upper part of the housing and a discharge port on the right side of the housing. The front and back sides of the upper part of the housing are symmetrically and rotatably equipped with a cover plate 1, which closes the two feeding ports. The right side of the housing is rotatably equipped with a cover plate 2, which closes the discharge port. The front and back sides of the right side of the housing are hinged with hydraulic cylinders 2. The hydraulic rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 2 are respectively hinged to the front and back sides of the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 is opened and closed by the hydraulic cylinders 2.

[0006] More preferably, the right side of the hopper is open, and the right side of the hopper is completely fitted with the inner side of the second cover plate. The right opening of the hopper is closed by the second cover plate. The upper part of the hopper is provided with a C-shaped protrusion at the center of the front and back, and the inside of the C-shaped protrusion is a transverse through groove. The upper space of the hopper is divided into two areas by this C-shaped protrusion.

[0007] More preferably, the unloading mechanism includes a connecting rod and a hydraulic cylinder. The connecting rod is provided inside the frame and consists of two hinged connecting rod frames. One end of the two connecting rod frames is hinged to each other. One end of one connecting rod frame is hinged to the frame, and one end of the other connecting rod frame is hinged to the drive frame. A crossbar is provided on the connecting rod frame inside the drive frame. A hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the frame, and the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the crossbar on the connecting rod frame inside the drive frame.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes a protective shell, a cooler, and a connecting pipe. The protective shell is located on the left side of the housing and surrounds the sprayer. The cooler is located on the outside of the protective shell and is connected to the internal space of the housing through the connecting pipe.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes a lower receiving groove, which is provided in the lower part of the housing. The lower receiving groove passes through the inner side of the pad and slides in contact with the pad. The receiving opening of the lower receiving groove faces upward and is located directly below the hopper.

[0010] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention uses a hollowed-out hopper that does not contact the inner wall of the shell to store and transport meat products. The special structure of the hopper greatly reduces the obstruction of the meat products by the storage container and the mutual obstruction between the meat products themselves during spray disinfection, so that the disinfectant can be more effectively applied to the meat products.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "setting," "installing," "connecting," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] A meat transport vehicle with disinfection function, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, the system includes a frame 1, which serves as the stable foundation of the entire transfer vehicle. A drive frame 21 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The top of the drive frame 21 smoothly supports the base plate 2, and a housing 3 is installed on the base plate 2. This series of structures provides solid support for the transfer of meat products. Inside the frame 1, a cleverly designed unloading mechanism is installed, which can push the drive frame 21 to rotate clockwise upwards. This rotational action, in turn, drives the base plate 2 and the housing 3 to lift as a whole, greatly facilitating the unloading of meat products.

[0023] Inside the shell 3, multiple pads 31 are evenly spaced. These pads 31 not only enhance the structural strength of the shell 3, but also provide reliable support for the stability of the hopper 32 and its suspended bottom. The hopper 32 is carefully designed with a hollow structure and fixed on the pads 31. This design allows the disinfectant to penetrate into every corner of the meat without obstruction. It is worth mentioning that there is a gap between the hopper 32 and the shell 3. This design allows the disinfectant to flow freely in the cavity between the shell 3 and the hopper 32, thereby greatly improving the disinfection effect.

[0024] On the left side of the housing 3, a high-efficiency sprayer 33 is installed. The sprayer 33 is equipped with multiple liquid tanks 34 to store sufficient disinfectant. The output end of the sprayer 33 is cleverly inserted into the housing 3 and closely connected to the spray pipes 35 that are evenly distributed on the walls of the front, back and top sides. Several spray nozzles are provided on the spray pipes 35. These spray nozzles can ensure that the disinfectant is evenly covered on the meat in the form of a mist, so as to achieve comprehensive and thorough disinfection.

[0025] To facilitate the loading and unloading of meat products, rotating cover plates 4 are symmetrically designed on the front and rear sides of the upper part of the shell 3 to close the two loading ports. At the same time, rotating cover plates 5 are set on the right side of the shell 3 to close the unloading port. To ensure that the opening and closing of cover plates 5 is smooth and accurate, hydraulic cylinders 51 are hinged on the front and rear sides of the right side of the shell 3. The hydraulic rods of these two hydraulic cylinders 51 are tightly connected to the front and rear sides of cover plates 5, respectively. Through the precise control of hydraulic cylinders 51, the opening and closing of cover plates 5 can be easily realized.

[0026] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the right side of the hopper 32 is designed to be open, and its right side fits perfectly with the inner side of the cover plate 2 5, thus ensuring the airtightness of the hopper 32 during the transfer process. At the center of the front and back of the upper part of the hopper 32, a U-shaped protrusion is set horizontally on the left and right. The inside of the protrusion is a horizontal through groove. This design cleverly divides the upper space of the hopper 32 into two areas, which not only optimizes the flow path of the disinfectant, but also separates the meat products, avoids a large amount of meat products to accumulate, and improves the disinfection efficiency.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the unloading mechanism mainly consists of a connecting rod 22 and a hydraulic cylinder 23. Inside the frame 1, the connecting rod 22 is set up. The connecting rod 22 is cleverly composed of two hinged connecting rod frames. One end of the two connecting rod frames is hinged to each other to form a stable connection. One end of one connecting rod frame is firmly hinged to the frame 1 to ensure the stability of the entire connecting rod 22 on the frame 1, while one end of the other connecting rod frame is hinged to the drive frame 21. In this way, when the connecting rod 22 moves, it can effectively drive the drive frame 21 to rotate.

[0028] On the linkage frame inside the connecting drive frame 21, we have specially set a crossbar. This crossbar not only enhances the structural strength of the linkage frame, but also facilitates the connection of the hydraulic cylinder 23. The hydraulic cylinder 23 is hinged on the frame 1, and the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 23 is tightly hinged to the crossbar on the linkage frame inside the connecting drive frame 21.

[0029] When unloading is required, the cover plate 25 is opened, and the hydraulic cylinder 23 starts working, with its hydraulic rod extending and pushing the crossbar forward. Since the crossbar is connected to the connecting rod frame, the connecting rod frame also starts to rotate. Driven by the connecting rod frame, the drive frame 21 starts to rotate clockwise upward, thereby lifting the bottom plate 2 and the housing 3 as a whole. Since the hinge point between the drive frame 21 and the frame 1 is located on the right side, when the hydraulic cylinder 23 works, the left side of the drive frame 21 rotates and lifts. In this way, the meat in the hopper 32 gradually slides out from the right side as the housing 3 is lifted, making it convenient for the operator to unload.

[0030] The design principle of the unloading mechanism is ingenious and practical. Through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 23, we can easily control the rotation of the drive frame 21, thereby realizing convenient unloading of meat products. At the same time, due to the hinged design of the connecting rod 22, the entire unloading process is smooth and reliable, avoiding damage or spillage of meat products caused by improper unloading.

[0031] In addition, such as Figure 2 The transfer vehicle is also equipped with additional equipment such as a protective shell 6, a cooler 61, and a connecting pipe 62. The protective shell 6 tightly surrounds the sprayer 33, providing it with all-round protection. The cooler 61 is installed on the outer side of the protective shell 6, and the cooler 61 is tightly connected to the internal space of the shell 3 through the connecting pipe 62. The cooler 61 provides a constant low temperature environment for the meat inside the shell 3. This design helps to maintain the freshness of the meat and extend its shelf life.

[0032] In summary, this utility model's meat transfer vehicle, through a series of ingenious designs and efficient component combinations, not only achieves comprehensive disinfection and convenient transfer of meat, but also greatly improves the hygiene quality and safety of meat. Its unique hopper design and spray disinfection system ensure that the disinfectant can fully act on the meat, thereby achieving efficient and uniform disinfection. At the same time, its equipped refrigeration system and unloading mechanism and other auxiliary equipment provide great convenience and protection for the transfer and storage of meat.

[0033] Finally, as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a lower groove 7. The lower part of the housing 3 is provided with a lower groove 7. Specifically, the lower groove 7 is provided in the lower part of the housing 3. It passes through the inner side of the pad 31 and maintains a sliding contact with the pad 31. This design allows the lower groove 7 to be placed stably in the housing 3, while also being able to slide relative to the pad 31 for easy removal and cleaning.

[0034] The receiving opening of the lower receiving trough 7 faces upward, a clever design that ensures it can effectively catch liquid dripping from the hopper 32. More importantly, the lower receiving trough 7 is precisely positioned directly below the hopper 32, so that no matter how much liquid drips from the hopper 32, it can be caught by the lower receiving trough 7 in a timely and accurate manner, thus preventing the liquid from contaminating other parts of the casing 3.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that the lower receiving slot 7 can also be completely removed from the housing 3. This design not only makes it easier for operators to clean and replace the lower receiving slot 7, but also makes the maintenance and upkeep of the entire transfer vehicle more convenient and efficient. When it is necessary to clean or replace the lower receiving slot 7, the operator only needs to slide it out of the housing 3 without performing complicated disassembly and installation operations.

[0036] Although this disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of this invention. Therefore, the scope of this invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
