Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of scalding tanks, specifically a scalding tank for pig slaughtering. Background Technology

[0002] Scalding tanks for pig slaughtering play a crucial role as core equipment in the pig slaughtering and processing process. They are specifically designed to scald pigs before slaughter, cleverly utilizing the heat of hot water to loosen the bond between pig hair and skin, laying a solid foundation for subsequent hair removal operations.

[0003] In the traditional scalding tank workflow, electric heating is widely used to directly heat the water in the scalding tank. Then, operators place the pigs into the scalding tank. Through thorough scalding, the bond between the pig hair and skin is effectively loosened, greatly facilitating subsequent hair removal. After scalding, operators use specialized tools to carefully remove the pigs, thus completing the entire scalding process. However, in practical applications, existing scalding tanks, due to their direct heating method, struggle to precisely control the water temperature. This often leads to excessively high or low temperature fluctuations, negatively impacting the scalding effect. Furthermore, the need for manual removal of the pigs after scalding significantly reduces efficiency and increases the labor intensity for workers.

[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a scalding tank for pig slaughtering to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figs. 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a scalding tank for pig slaughtering, including...

[0027] The scalding unit 100 includes a pool body 110, a conveying mechanism 120 disposed in the inner cavity of the pool body 110 for conveying live pigs, a temperature sensor 130 disposed on one side of the inner cavity of the pool body 110 for monitoring water temperature, a heat-conducting plate 150 fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner cavity of the pool body 110 for conducting heat energy, an electric heating plate 140 disposed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the pool body 110 for heating water, a microcontroller 160 fixedly connected to one side of the front of the pool body 110, and a water circulation unit 200 disposed at the lower end of the surface of the pool body 110 for circulating water.

[0028] The conveying mechanism 120 includes two drive rollers 121, a conveyor belt 122 connected between the two drive rollers 121, and a geared motor 123 disposed on the front of the right drive roller 121 and used to provide a power source for the right drive roller 121.

[0029] like Figs. 1-5 As shown, the temperature sensor 130, model PT1000, can monitor the water temperature in the pool in real time and send the data to the microcontroller 160. Since the microcontroller 160 is an ESP32 series single-chip microcomputer, it can control the heating power of the electric heating plate 140 according to the set water temperature range to maintain the stability of the water temperature in the pool. The electric heating plate 140, model DB-1, achieves precise control of the water temperature. The pigs are placed on the conveyor belt 122, and the geared motor 123 drives the transmission roller 121 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 122 to move. With the movement of the conveyor belt 122, the pigs can automatically enter or leave the pool 110, which not only improves the scalding efficiency but also greatly reduces the labor intensity of the workers. During the scalding process, the water circulation unit 200 can circulate and filter the water inside the pool 110 to ensure the cleanliness of the water and improve the scalding quality.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Reference Figs. 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0032] In this embodiment, a level gauge 111 is provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the pool body 110, an anti-fog cover 112 is fixedly connected to the top of the pool body 110, and a fence frame 113 is fixedly connected to the left side of the pool body 110. An inclined plate 114 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fence frame 113. The pool body 110 has a four-layer design, with the outer and inner layers made of stainless steel, and polyurethane foam and heat insulation cotton respectively provided between the outer and inner layers.

[0033] The output terminals of temperature sensor 130 and level gauge 111 are both connected to the input terminal of microcontroller 160. There are three electric heating plates 140, and the input terminals of geared motor 123 and electric heating plate 140 are both connected to the output terminal of microcontroller 160.

[0034] A bracket 124 is fixedly connected to the back of the geared motor 123, and one end of the right transmission roller 121 is movably connected to the bracket 124 through a bearing. Both ends of the left transmission roller 121 are movably connected to the pool body 110 through bearings. The inner cavity and top of the conveyor belt 122 are respectively provided with a second limiting roller 126 and a first limiting roller 125, and both ends of the second limiting roller 126 and the first limiting roller 125 are movably connected to the inner wall of the pool body 110 through bearings.

[0035] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, the water level in the pool 110 is monitored in real time by the level gauge 111 to ensure that the water level is kept within a suitable range and to avoid the adverse effects of excessively high or low water levels on the scalding effect. The anti-fog cover 112 can prevent the water mist generated during the scalding process from spreading to the operating environment. The fence frame 113 and the inclined plate 114 provide a safe operating area for the operator, making it easy for personnel to place the pigs on the conveyor belt 122. The first limit roller 125 and the second limit roller 126 can limit the conveyor belt 122 to ensure the smooth transport of the pigs during the scalding process.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Reference Fig. 1 , 4 5 and 6 are the third embodiment of this utility model, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0038] In this embodiment, the water circulation unit 200 includes a circulation pump 210, an outlet pipe 220 connected to the outlet end of the circulation pump 210, a water filter assembly 230 disposed at the inlet end of the circulation pump 210 and used for filtering water, and an inlet pipe 240 disposed on one side of the water filter assembly 230.

[0039] The water filtration assembly 230 includes a connecting cylinder 231, a cylinder cover 232 disposed on one side of the connecting cylinder 231 for closing the connecting cylinder 231, a threaded ring 235 fixedly connected to one side of the cylinder cover 232 and threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 231, a connecting rod 233 fixedly connected to one side of the threaded ring 235, and a filter screen frame 234 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 233.

[0040] One end of the outlet pipe 220 is connected to the pool body 110, the inlet end of the circulation pump 210 is connected to the connecting cylinder 231, and the input end of the circulation pump 210 is connected to the output end of the microcontroller 160. The cylinder cover 232 and the inlet pipe 240 are movably connected through a sealed bearing, and the two are connected. The end of the inlet pipe 240 away from the cylinder cover 232 is connected to the pool body 110.

[0041] like Fig. 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the operation of the circulation pump 210 allows water inside the pool 110 to be transferred to the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 231 through the inlet pipe 240. Inside the connecting cylinder 231, the water passes through the filter screen 234, where impurities and dirt are captured and retained. The clean water is then transferred to the outlet pipe 220 through the circulation pump 210 and finally re-enters the inner cavity of the pool 110 through the outlet pipe 220. This process achieves water circulation and filtration, ensuring water cleanliness. After prolonged use, the filter screen 234 can be rotated by rotating the cylinder cover 232. The cylinder cover 232 drives the threaded ring 235 to rotate. Since the threaded ring 235 is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder 231, it gradually separates from the connecting cylinder 231 as it rotates. At this time, pulling the cylinder cover 232 will cause the threaded ring 235, the connecting rod 233, and the filter screen 234 to disengage from the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 231, thereby disassembling the filter screen 234 for easy cleaning later.

[0042] In use, personnel first fill the pool 110 with water and monitor the real-time water level using a level gauge 111, transmitting the data to a microcontroller 160 to check if the water level is appropriate. Then, the microcontroller 160 sets parameters such as the water temperature range or circulation speed as needed. Next, the microcontroller 160 transmits a signal to the electric heating plate 140, which generates heat and transfers it to the water through a heat-conducting plate 150, thus heating the water inside the pool 110. When the water temperature reaches the set range, the pigs are placed on the conveyor belt 122. The geared motor 123 drives the transmission roller 121 to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt 122. As the conveyor belt moves, the pigs enter the pool 110 for scalding. During scalding, the temperature sensor 130 monitors the water temperature in real time and sends the data to the microcontroller 160. The microcontroller 160 controls the heating power of the electric heating plate 140 according to the set water temperature range to maintain the stability of the water temperature in the pool, thus achieving precise control of the water temperature. At the same time, the operation of the circulation pump 210 allows the water inside the pool 110 to be transferred to the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 231 through the inlet pipe 240. In the connecting cylinder 231, the water passes through the filter screen 234, where impurities and dirt are captured and retained by the filter screen. The clean water is then transferred to the outlet pipe 220 through the circulation pump 210 and finally re-enters the inner cavity of the pool 110 through the outlet pipe 220. This achieves water circulation and filtration, ensuring the cleanliness of the water during scalding and achieving efficient circulation and filtration of the water in the pool 110. This maintains the cleanliness of the water in the pool 110. After the pigs are scalded, the conveyor belt 122 automatically sends them out of the scalding pool, thus completing the scalding of the pigs. This not only improves scalding efficiency but also significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers.
