Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry processing technology, specifically to a poultry defecation device. Background Technology
[0002] Poultry refers to birds raised in captivity, primarily for their meat, eggs, and feathers, but also for other purposes. They are generally pheasants and ducks, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and quails, but also include birds from other families such as turkeys, pigeons, and various songbirds.
[0003] After slaughter, poultry needs to be defecate for easier processing and sale. Defecation is typically done in a defecation drum, which contains rubber rods that remove feathers through friction. Before defecation, the poultry needs to be scalded, requiring workers to manually immerse the poultry in hot water, which is inconvenient and increases the risk of burns. During defecation, rinsing water is added, and this water, along with the feathers, is discharged from the drum, leading to significant water waste. Furthermore, the feathers are difficult to collect. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0036] Working principle: When removing feathers from poultry, one of the poultry's claws after slaughter and bleeding is placed between the electric grippers 15. The electric grippers 15 are activated to clamp the poultry's claw. Then, the electric cylinder 14 extends and retracts, immersing the poultry in the scalding tub 26 for scalding. After scalding, the electric cylinder 14 retracts, pulling the poultry away from the scalding tub 26. The servo motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate, thereby moving the electric cylinder 14 and the poultry above the top bucket 2. The electric grippers 15 release their grip, and the poultry falls into the removal tub 1. The drive motor 8 drives the bottom turntable 7 to rotate, causing the poultry to roll and contact the rubber rod 5 for feather removal. This device eliminates the hassle of manual scalding and transfer, improving efficiency. The convenience and efficiency of the hair removal process avoids burns to staff and improves safety. The heating rod 16 heats the water in the scalding tub 26 to a suitable scalding temperature. During hair removal, the first water pump 19 draws hot water from inside the scalding tub 26 and sprays it out through the ring pipe 3 and nozzle 4 to clean the feathers on the surface of the poultry and flush out the removed feathers. The hair removal wastewater and feathers are discharged through the feather discharge port 6 and enter the filter tank 21. The hot water passes through the second filter screen 22 and is pumped back into the scalding tub 26 by the second water pump 24, completing the recycling of hot water, saving hot water consumption, and making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. At the same time, the filter tank 21 filters the feathers in the hot water, facilitating feather recovery and further improving the convenience of use.
