Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hanging rack, and more particularly to a hanging rack for pig slaughtering. Background Technology

[0002] During pig slaughter, to ensure the freshness and hygiene of the meat, the pig carcass is usually trimmed on the slaughter line. This includes removing internal organs, fat, and other non-edible parts. These removed parts need to be hung on dedicated racks promptly for subsequent processing and transportation. Existing racks are mainly used at various stages of the slaughter line for the temporary storage and transportation of these removed parts, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the slaughtering process.

[0003] Currently, most pig slaughter racks on the market are fixed or have simple hook structures. These racks have many shortcomings in actual use. First, fixed racks cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs of the slaughter line, making hanging inconvenient. Second, simple hook structures often use a single hook point, resulting in poor stability of the hung items. Under the weight of the items themselves or under external forces, the items are prone to swinging or shaking and falling off, increasing the risk of meat contamination. In addition, these racks usually lack a closed design, making the hung items susceptible to contamination from the external environment during transportation, affecting food safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of fixed or simple hook structures commonly used in pig slaughtering racks, which have several drawbacks in practical use, firstly, fixed racks cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs of the slaughtering line, leading to inconvenience in hanging. Secondly, simple hook structures often use a single hook point, resulting in poor stability of the hung items. Under the weight of the items themselves or under external forces, the items are prone to swinging or falling off, increasing the risk of meat contamination. In addition, these racks usually lack a closed design, making the hung items susceptible to contamination from the external environment during transportation, affecting food safety. The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pig slaughtering rack that is easy to use in actual production and reduces the risk of items falling off and being contaminated by the external environment.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a hanging rack for pig slaughtering, including a fixed frame, a support frame, a guide groove, a curtain, side frames, a fixed plate, tracks, sliders, and hanging rods. Support frames are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the fixed frame, and the support frames and fixed frames are arranged perpendicular to each other. A guide groove is opened on the inward side of the support frame, and a curtain is slidably installed between the guide grooves of the support frames. Side frames are vertically installed inside each support frame, filling the internal space of the support frame. A fixed plate is fixed between the rear parts of the side frames. Multiple tracks are arranged from top to bottom on the front side of the fixed plate, dividing the front side of the fixed plate into multiple hanging layers. Multiple sliders are slidably installed on each track, and multiple hanging rods are installed in front of each slider. The opening between the front parts of the support frames is blocked by the sliding curtain. The side frames, fixed plate, and curtain surround a relatively enclosed hanging area in the inner front space between the two support frames.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it further includes mounting plates and wire mesh brackets. Two mounting plates are provided on each track, and no less than three wire mesh brackets are rotatably provided between the two mounting plates on the same track. The wire mesh brackets between the two mounting plates on the same track are arranged at intervals from top to bottom.

[0007] Preferably, the hinge between the mounting plate and the wire mesh bracket is equipped with a limiting structure. When the wire mesh bracket rotates downward between the mounting plates, it can no longer rotate downward after it reaches a state of relative parallelity with the ground.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a connecting block and a hook. The lower part of the slider is provided with a connecting block, and the connecting block is provided with a hook.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a liquid receiving frame and a collection frame. A plurality of liquid receiving frames are provided on the fixing plate, and each liquid receiving frame is provided with a dripping groove. Each liquid receiving frame is in a corresponding position to a track. The rear part of the liquid receiving frame passes through the fixing plate and is open at the rear. The liquid inside will flow out through the dripping groove. A collection frame is provided on the fixing frame. The upper rear part of the collection frame has a liquid receiving port. The collection frame will collect all the liquid discharged from the liquid receiving frames through the liquid receiving port.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, rollers are also included. Rollers are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part of the fixing frame, and each roller is equipped with a braking component.

[0011] This invention has the following advantages: It uses a flexible, movable hook with multiple hanging points to hang the trimmed parts removed from the pig's body. By using multiple hanging points on a single hook to individually hang one trimmed part, it provides more even support, significantly enhancing the stability of the hanging item and reducing the load that would occur with a single hook. This prevents deformation or detachment of the hanging item due to excessive localized stress. Simultaneously, the side frame and sliding curtain shield the hanging area, creating effective protection around the area. This not only maintains a clean working environment but also prevents external contamination and the risk of cross-infection.

[0012] This invention utilizes a wire mesh bracket on a hanging rack to hold parts of the pig that are difficult to hook or should be kept out of damage during slaughter, such as tender meat slices and internal organs. These parts are fragile or easily damaged, preventing them from detaching from the hooks due to shaking or improper hanging. This ensures the integrity of these sensitive parts during transportation and storage, reduces breakage rates, improves product quality and appearance, and also facilitates more efficient management and handling of various parts removed after slaughter by subsequent operators.

[0013] This invention effectively collects dripping liquids, such as blood, water, or other residues, from hanging items by setting a liquid collection frame below the hanging items. The specially designed collection frame then centrally processes these liquids, maintaining the cleanliness and dryness of the work area and preventing pollution and safety hazards caused by liquid splashing. This significantly improves the hygiene standards and safety of the operating environment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1: A hanging rack for pig slaughtering, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the structure includes a fixed frame 1, a support frame 2, a guide groove 21, a curtain 3, a side frame 4, a fixing plate 5, a track 51, a slider 52, and a hanging rod 53. The fixed frame 1 has symmetrical support frames 2 on its top left and right sides, arranged perpendicularly to the fixed frame 1. This design ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire hanging frame structure, effectively supporting the weight of the pig carcass and its removed parts. The support frame 2 has a guide groove 21 on its inward-facing side, and the curtain 3 is slidably positioned between the guide grooves 21 of the support frame 2.

[0022] Each support frame 2 is vertically equipped with side frames 4. These side frames 4 not only fill the internal space of the support frame 2, enhancing the overall stability and strength of the structure, but also form a fixed plate 5 through their rear-mounted connections. Multiple tracks 51 are arranged from top to bottom on the front side of the fixed plate 5. These tracks 51 divide the front side of the fixed plate 5 into multiple hanging layers, making the hanging area more organized and easier to manage. Each track 51 has multiple sliding sliders 52, and each slider 52 has multiple hanging rods 53 on its front side. A sliding curtain 3 covers the opening between the front parts of the support frame 2. Combined with the side frames 4, fixed plate 5, and curtain 3, [the structure is designed to be more organized and easier to manage]. The inner front space between the two support frames 2 forms a relatively enclosed hanging area. The trimmed and removed parts of the pig carcass are hung by hooks that can be moved flexibly and have multiple hanging points. The multiple hanging points on each hook can hang a trimmed part individually, providing more even support and significantly enhancing the stability of the hanging items. Compared with single-point hooks, this multi-point design can distribute weight and pressure, reduce the risk of excessive local stress, and prevent the hanging items from deforming or falling off due to excessive local load. In addition, the sliding design of the slider 52 allows the operator to flexibly adjust the position of the hanging rod 53 according to actual needs.

[0023] Specifically, when using the hanging rack, first, open the curtain 3 and slide it to one side to expose the opening space at the front of the support frame 2, preparing for the upcoming hanging operation. The curtain 3 should be kept closed when not in use to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the work area. Next, remove the trimmed pig parts, select a suitable hanging rod 53, and adjust the position of the slider 52 according to its weight and shape to ensure the hanging rod 53 is at the optimal hanging height. Multiple hanging points on the slider 52, along with the hanging rod 53, individually hang the trimmed part, providing more even support and enhancing the stability of the hanging item. As needed, flexibly adjust the position of the hanging rod 53 using the slider 52 on the sliding track 51 to ensure the hanging area is within acceptable limits. The space is utilized efficiently, facilitating the management and handling of various hanging items by operators. During the hanging process, care should be taken to maintain the balance of the hanging items to avoid excessive local stress that could cause deformation or detachment. After hanging, the curtain 3 should be slid back to its original position to completely cover the opening in front of the support frame 2, forming a relatively enclosed hanging area. This operation not only maintains the cleanliness of the working environment but also effectively prevents the risk of external pollution and cross-infection. Closing the curtain 3 also reduces the impact of air circulation on the hanging items, helping to maintain the temperature and humidity conditions within the hanging area and ensuring product quality. After hanging, operators can transport the hung pig carcasses and their removed parts to the next processing stage, such as cutting and packaging, according to the production plan.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and 5 As shown, it also includes mounting plates 6 and wire mesh brackets 61. Two mounting plates 6 are provided on the track 51. Multiple wire mesh brackets 61 are rotatably arranged between the two mounting plates 6 on the same track 51 through a hinge structure. These wire mesh brackets 61 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom. The mounting plates 6 are fixed on the track 51 to ensure their position is stable and can withstand the weight of the wire mesh brackets 61 and the meat they carry. The hinge design between the wire mesh brackets 61 and the mounting plates 6 allows each wire mesh bracket 61 to rotate independently, providing flexible operation. In addition, a limiting structure is provided at the hinge. When the wire mesh bracket 61 rotates downward to be parallel to the ground, it cannot continue to rotate, ensuring that it always remains in a horizontal state during use and preventing the meat from slipping or being damaged.

[0025] Initially, all wire mesh trays 61 are rotated upwards, tightly attached to the mounting plate 6, saving space and keeping the hanging system tidy. In use, starting with the bottommost wire mesh tray 61, the operator rotates it downwards sequentially until it is horizontal, placing meat products that are not easily hooked or should be kept as undamaged as possible (such as tender slices, offal, etc.). After placement, the upper wire mesh trays 61 are rotated downwards one by one, placing a removed portion after each rotation. This layer-by-layer usage sequence ensures that each wire mesh tray 61 is fully utilized and avoids interference between upper and lower layers. Through the multi-point support and limiting structure of the wire mesh trays 61, the meat products are more stable during placement, reducing the risk of shaking or falling off. It is particularly suitable for placing fragile or easily damaged meat products, effectively avoiding damage that may be caused by traditional hook hanging, and significantly improving operational convenience and work efficiency.

[0026] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a liquid receiving frame 7 and a collection frame 8. Multiple liquid receiving frames 7 are provided on the fixing plate 5, each with a drip groove to ensure smooth liquid flow into the frame. Each receiving frame 7 is positioned corresponding to a track 51, ensuring that liquid dripping from the wire mesh holder 61 or hook on the track 51 flows precisely into the corresponding receiving frame 7. This one-to-one correspondence prevents liquid from splashing or flowing to other areas, effectively avoiding liquid spillage and contamination. The liquid receiving frame 7 extends backward through the fixing plate 5 and is open at the rear. Liquid flows out backward through the drip groove to prevent it from overflowing when the liquid receiving frame 7 is full. The drainage keeps the working area clean. The fixing frame 1 is equipped with a collection frame 8, which is located below all the liquid receiving frames 7. The upper rear part of the collection frame 8 has a liquid receiving port. The liquid discharged from all the liquid receiving frames 7 is collected into the collection frame 8 through this liquid receiving port. This integrated liquid collection system ensures the effective management and treatment of liquid and reduces the risk of contamination.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment: such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a connecting block 54 and a hook 55. A connecting block 54 is provided at the bottom of the slider 52. The connecting block 54 is welded or bolted to the bottom of the slider 52 in a stable manner to ensure that the connection between the two is firm and reliable. A hook 55 is provided on the connecting block 54. The hook 55 can be connected to the connecting block 54 through a rotating shaft or hinge, so that the hook 55 can rotate flexibly within a certain range to adapt to objects of different shapes and sizes.

[0028] The hook 55 is connected to the slider 52 via the connecting block 54, forming a stable support structure. When an object is hung on the hanging rod 53, the hook 55 can automatically adjust its angle to support the object. Especially when hanging heavy or irregularly shaped objects, it can effectively prevent the object from falling off, improving the safety and reliability of the hanging.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment: such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes rollers 9. Rollers 9 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part of the fixed frame 1. Each roller 9 is equipped with a brake component. These brake components are tightly connected to the roller 9 through mechanical or electromagnetic principles, and can quickly lock the roller 9 when needed to prevent the hanger from sliding or deviating when it does not need to move. The introduction of rollers 9 greatly reduces the frictional resistance of the hanger during movement, allowing operators to easily push or pull the hanger, improving the work efficiency and ease of operation when using the hanger. The setting of brake components ensures the stability of the hanger in a stationary state, avoiding accidental movement caused by external forces, thereby ensuring the order and safety of the working environment.

[0030] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
