[0015] Working Principle: Beef bones taken from the cold storage are placed into the flow tank of the beef bone thawing machine. Water in the thawing tank is pumped from the water tank into the spray pipes and then ejected through the spray nozzles, causing the water to flow and thaw the beef bones. The flowing water also increases the friction between the beef bones, accelerating the thawing process. Then, under the operation of the thawing motor, power is transmitted through the thawing transmission to the thawing drive shaft and thawing driven shaft, driving the chain plate to transport the beef bones onto the beef bone conveyor belt. The thawed beef bones enter the cleaning elevator from the conveyor belt, where they are cleaned by water flow in the cleaning tank. The blower in the bubble cleaning device operates, transporting the air through the air duct to the bubble cleaning unit. Inside the nozzle, bubbles are sprayed out through the bubble outlet. The water tumbles under the action of the bubbles, thoroughly cleaning the residue and other dirt on the cow bones. Then, the active motor operates, driving the active shaft and driven shaft to rotate, which moves the chain plate. The bones are lifted in the lifting trough and finally fall into the automatic weighing hopper. After weighing, the hopper switch cylinder opens the automatic weighing hopper, and the cow bones fall onto the feeding tray. The feeding tray push cylinder then pushes the tray into the material cart. The operator then places the empty tray from the empty pallet lift car into the middle of the operating platform. The material cart lifting platform controls the material cart to rise or fall, ensuring that the material tray push cylinder pushes the tray into the material cart.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The water spray from the beef bone thawing machine circulates, thawing the beef bones. The flowing water also increases friction between the bones, accelerating the thawing process.
[0018] 2. Multiple beef bone thawing machines are installed to perfectly accommodate the thawing of large quantities of beef bones.
[0019] 3. The cleaning elevator can remove residue or other dirt from cow bones. The bubble cleaning device can make the water tumble, which can remove the residue from the cow bones by friction, making the cleaning more thorough.
[0020] 4. Batch weighing is possible. After weighing is completed, the automatic weighing hopper is opened and the material is dropped into the material tray, realizing online weighing.
[0021] 5. The entire process of thawing, cleaning, and weighing is automated, requiring no manual labor and reducing labor costs. Attached Figure Description

The material tray push cylinder 17 is located below the lifting end of the cleaning elevator 2 and is parallel to the material tray 18. The cow bones fall into the automatic weighing hopper 11. After weighing, the hopper switch cylinder 12 opens the automatic weighing hopper 11, and the cow bones fall onto the material tray 18. The material tray push cylinder 17 then pushes the material tray into the material cart 15. The empty material tray 18 on the empty pallet lifting cart 14 is then placed in the middle of the operating platform 13.

Then, the active motor 241 operates, and the active drive 242 drives the active shaft 243 and the driven shaft 25 to rotate, which makes the chain plate 26 run. It is lifted in the lifting tank 222 and finally falls into the automatic weighing hopper 11.

The blower 271 is located outside the cleaning tank 221, and the bubble ejection pipe 273 is located at the bottom inside the cleaning tank 221. The air supply pipe 272 crosses the outer wall of the cleaning tank 221 and connects the blower 271 and the bubble ejection pipe 273. The bubble outlet 274 is installed on the upper surface of the bubble ejection pipe 273. During the cleaning process via the cleaning elevator 2, the blower 271 in the bubble cleaning device operates, transporting air through the air supply pipe 272 into the bubble ejection pipe 273, and then ejecting bubbles through the bubble outlet 274. The water tumbles under the action of the bubbles, thoroughly cleaning the residue and other dirt on the cattle bones.

The water in the thawing tank 42 is pumped into the spray pipe 473 by the water pump 471, and then ejected through the spray nozzles 474 to make the water flow and thaw the beef bones. The flowing water will increase the friction between the beef bones and speed up the thawing speed. Then, under the operation of the thawing motor 451, the power is transmitted to the thawing drive shaft 453 and the thawing driven shaft 46 through the thawing transmission 452, which drives the chain plate 44 to operate and transport the beef bones onto the beef bone conveyor belt 3.
