[0002] In the poultry farming and processing industry chain, grading is a key link to ensure product quality, meet market demand, and optimize resource allocation. With the trend of large-scale and intensive development of poultry farming, the market demand for intelligent and automated grading technology is becoming increasingly urgent.
[0003] Currently, traditional grading methods rely on human visual and experience-based judgment, which has problems such as strong subjectivity, low efficiency, and high error rate. In addition, relying on manual operation requires high technical skills from the staff, and there is a shortage of professional manual grading personnel, which can easily cause project delays. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic grading device suitable for poultry.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An automatic grading device for poultry includes a support assembly comprising multiple profiles, hinges, and T-joints. The multiple profiles are fixedly connected by the T-joints to form a support body with different heights on both sides. The lower end of the support body is connected by several hinges to the end face of the vertically placed profile and the groove face of the horizontally placed profile. An inclined base plate is fixed on the profile. Side plates one and two are respectively provided on the inner sides of the profile near the poultry entrance, and the lengths of side plates one and two are both less than the length of the base plate. Slides one and two are respectively fixed on the two outer ends of the profile near the poultry exit. An adjustment mechanism for opening and closing the sliding channels is also provided on the side of the profile near the poultry exit.
[0007] Preferably, the upper part of the first side plate and the second side plate is bent and the bent part is fixed to the inside of the profile.
[0008] Preferably, the side plates one and two are bent at the bottom and the bent portions are fixed to the base plate.
[0009] Preferably, the first and second side panels gradually slope inward from one side near the poultry entrance to the other side.
[0010] Preferably, the tilt angle of the first side plate and the second side plate is set to 5-10°.
[0011] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a stepper motor, a mounting base, a coupling, a rotating shaft, a first rhomboid bearing seat, a second rhomboid bearing seat, a bearing seat mounting plate, and a baffle. The stepper motor is mounted on the lower side of the mounting base, the mounting base is fixed vertically to the profile, one end of the coupling is drivenly connected to the stepper motor, and the other end of the coupling is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft. The first rhomboid bearing seat is mounted on the upper side of the mounting base, the bearing seat mounting plate is mounted on the top profile of the bracket assembly, a second rhomboid bearing seat is mounted on one end of the cantilever, and the baffle is fixed to the rotating shaft.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention uses a stepper motor to control the baffle to rotate at a certain angle, opening the channel for the corresponding type of poultry and changing the direction of the poultry's descent, ensuring that the poultry can smoothly enter the correct level to complete the grading process. At the same time, adjustment mechanisms are set on both sides of the main slide, so that a single device can be divided into three levels. The modular design makes it easy to add new grading categories and meet the classification requirements of more levels, thus having high practical value. Attached Figure Description

[0019] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic grading device for poultry, which includes profiles 11. Multiple profiles 11 are provided, and the profiles 11 are made of 2020 aluminum profiles. Multiple profiles 11 are fixedly connected by a three-way connector 13 to form a support body with different heights on both sides. The lower end of the support body is connected by several movable hinges 12 to the end face of the vertically placed profile 11 and the groove face of the horizontally placed profile 11. The support assembly composed of the profiles 11, movable hinges 12 and three-way connectors 13 serves as the basic platform for the poultry sliding channel.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an inclined base plate 2 is fixed on the profile 11. The base plate 2 serves as the main slide for poultry grading. Side plates 3 and 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the profile 11. The upper part of side plates 3 and 4 is bent and the bent part is fixed to the inner side of the profile 11. The lower part of side plates 3 and 4 is bent and the bent part is fixed to the base plate 2 to ensure the stability of the structure. The side plates 3 and 4 prevent poultry from falling through the through hole in the middle of the profile 11, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the grading work. The lengths of both are less than the length of the base plate 2. Side plate 1 3 and side plate 2 4 are located on the side of the base plate 2 and profile 11 near the poultry entrance. Side plate 1 3 and side plate 2 4 gradually slope inward from the side near the poultry entrance to the other side, and the tilt angle is set to 8°. The main slide gradually narrows, allowing the poultry to gradually approach the center line of the main slide, which is beneficial for subsequent grading work. The two outer ends of the profile 11 near the poultry exit are respectively fixed with slide 1 5 and slide 2 6. Slide 1 5 and slide 2 6 serve as secondary slides for poultry grading.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the profile 11, near the poultry outlet, are equipped with adjustment mechanisms 7, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 7 includes a stepper motor 71, a mounting base 72, a coupling 73, a rotating shaft 74, a first rhomboid bearing seat 75, a second rhomboid bearing seat 76, a bearing seat mounting plate 77, and a baffle 78. The stepper motor 71 is mounted on the lower side of the mounting base 72, and the vertical side of the mounting base 72 is fixed to the profile 11. One end of the coupling 73 is connected to the stepper motor 71, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 74. The first rhomboid bearing seat 75 is mounted on the upper side of the mounting base 72. The bearing seat mounting plate 77 is mounted on the top profile 11 of the bracket assembly. The second rhomboid bearing seat 76 is mounted on one end of the cantilever. The baffle 78 is fixed to the rotating shaft 74. The stepper motor 71 drives the coupling 73 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 74 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 74 drives the baffle 78 to rotate. The rotation of the baffle 78 opens and closes the poultry outlet, thus achieving the purpose of grading.
[0023] After the poultry are weighed, their category is quickly identified. The control system then controls the baffle 78 to rotate at a certain angle, opening the corresponding poultry channel and changing the direction of the poultry's descent, ensuring that the poultry smoothly enter the correct level to complete the grading process.
[0024] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
