Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sausage casing cleaning devices, and in particular to a cleaning device for cleaning sausage casing hairs. Background Technology

[0002] Natural sausage casings are made from the intestines and bladders of pigs, cattle, and sheep, after the mucous membrane has been removed, and then cured or dried. They are mainly used in meat processing. Natural sausage casings usually have hair-like structures on their surface, which need to be removed before meat processing to meet hygiene standards. Currently, even a skilled worker can only produce approximately 2136 meters of hair-free casings in 12 hours.

[0003] The prior art, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN218790172U entitled "A Compression Device for Cleaning and Removing Hair from Sausage Casings", includes a workbench with a mounting frame at its upper end. The mounting frame is also equipped with a support tube for injecting water or air into the sausage casing. The other end of the support tube extends horizontally away from the mounting frame. The upper end of the workbench is also equipped with an adjustable support frame, on which a cleaning component for removing hair from the sausage casing on the support tube is adjustablely mounted. On a section of the workbench between the mounting frame and the cleaning component, a drive clamping component is also provided to clamp the sausage casing on the support tube and drive the sausage casing to move and compress on the support tube. The workbench is also equipped with a feeding component corresponding to the support tube for convenient sausage casing transportation.

[0004] This device can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency of sausage casing hairs. However, in actual use, the method of straightening the sausage casing hairs with a brush before cleaning and scraping them is prone to not cleaning them thoroughly; and when cleaning a section of sausage casing, the casing is prone to slipping off the device, making it inconvenient to clean the remaining section.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4This device is a cleaning device for removing sausage casing hairs, including a workbench 1, a cleaning component 2, and a drive clamping component 3. Both the cleaning component 2 and the drive clamping component 3 are mounted on the workbench 1. A support plate 4 with a through slot at the top is located on the workbench 1 below the cleaning component 2. The cleaning component 2 is a conventional device for cleaning sausage casing hairs, such as a cleaning blade. The drive clamping component 3 consists of a support tube for injecting water or air into the sausage casing, a drive motor, and multiple clamping wheels. The drive motor drives the multiple clamping wheels to clamp the sausage casing. This drives the casing to move on the support tube and support plate 4. The cleaning component 2 and the drive clamping component 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The fixing frame 6 is also equipped with several infrared sensing devices 12 for sensing the movement of the casing. The cleaning component 2 is equipped with a visual sensing device 20 for observing the casing. This setup allows for more accurate sensing of the movement and cleaning distance of the casing through the infrared sensing device 12 and the visual sensing device 20. The infrared sensing device 12 and the visual sensing device 20 are mature devices in the existing structure and their principles will not be described in detail here.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the workbench 1 is also equipped with a feeding assembly, which corresponds to the drive clamping assembly 3. The feeding assembly includes a mounting frame 5, a fixing frame 6, and a feeding plate 7 with a through groove at the top. The mounting frame 5 is fixed on the workbench 1, and the fixing frame 6 is fixed on the mounting frame 5. The feeding plate 7 is located on top of the fixing frame 6, and one end of the feeding plate 7 is inclined and extends towards the support plate 4. The fixing frame 6 is equipped with a guide to direct the hairs of the casings toward the cleaning assembly 2. The guide is a number of air jet hoses 8, which are evenly fixed on both sides of the fixing frame 6. The air inlet of the air jet hoses 8 is connected to an external blowing device, and the air jet end of the air jet hoses 8 extends toward the direction of movement of the casings on the feeding plate 7 and blows air onto the casings passing on the feeding plate 7. This arrangement can effectively direct the hairs on the casings toward the cleaning assembly 2 through the air jets of the air jet hoses 8, so that the subsequent cleaning assembly 2 can clean from the head of the hairs, improving the cleaning efficiency of the hairs.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the feeding assembly is equipped with an anti-slip component to prevent casing slippage. This anti-slip component includes a rotary cylinder 9 and a limiting brush 10. The rotary cylinder 9 is fixed to one side of the fixed frame 6, with its telescopic end extending upwards towards the feeding plate 7. A limiting block 11 is fixed to the telescopic end of the rotary cylinder 9, and the limiting brush 10 is fixed to the limiting block 11. The brush end of the limiting brush 10 extends towards the casing moving on the feeding plate 7. This rotary cylinder 9 is a conventional rotary pressing cylinder, capable of rotation and a short lifting distance. This device is a relatively common structure in the prior art, and its principle will not be elaborated upon further here. Through the rotation and extension of the rotary cylinder 9, the limiting brush 10 at its telescopic end can be moved, pressing down and limiting the tail section of the casing. A feeding rod 13 is provided on the feeding plate 7, at the end furthest from the support plate 4, facilitating continuous movement of the casing.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a connector for raising and lowering the support plate 4 according to the change of sausage casing diameter is provided on the workbench 1 and below the support plate 4. The connector includes a fixed block 14, a connecting block 15, a support block 16 and a connecting rod 17. The fixed block 14 is fixed on the workbench 1. The connecting block 15 is slidably disposed on the fixed block 14 and the top of the connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 4. The support block 16 is fixed inside the workbench 1. An avoidance groove 18 is provided on the support block 16. One end of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 15. The other end of the connecting rod 17 extends vertically downward through the fixed block 14 and the workbench 1 and extends to the support block 16. An avoidance groove 18 is provided on the support block 16. One end of the connecting rod 17 slides through the avoidance groove 18. A compression spring 19 is sleeved on the connecting rod 17. One end of the compression spring 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 17 and the other end of the compression spring 19 is fixedly connected to the support block 16. This configuration effectively allows the connecting block 15 and the support plate 4 to move up and down on the worktable 1 via the connecting rod 17 and the compression spring 19. This facilitates the cleaning component 2's cleaning of the casings when casings of different diameters pass over the support plate 4.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In use, one end of the casing is first clamped onto the drive clamping assembly 3. Then, the cleaning assembly 2 is operated to scrape off the hairs from the casing. The casing passes through the feed rod 13 and the feed plate 7 in sequence and moves toward the support plate 4. The air jet hose 8 sprays air onto the casing passing over the feed plate 7, causing the hairs on the casing to move forward toward the cleaning assembly 2. When the end section is processed, the pressure cylinder 9 will drive the limit block 11 and the limit brush 10 to rotate and press down through the detection of the infrared sensor 12, limiting the end section of the casing and causing the casing to move slowly on the feed plate 7, preventing the casing from sliding directly from the feed plate 7 onto the support plate 4.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
