Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning device technology, specifically to a livestock positioning device for livestock slaughter. Background Technology

[0002] During livestock slaughter, animals often resist violently, increasing the difficulty of the operation. To further ensure operational safety and minimize the pain and stress of the animals, specialized livestock positioning devices are typically used to restrict their movement, thereby reducing their struggle and resistance during the slaughter process. This not only helps protect the safety of operators but also improves the safety and operability of the entire slaughter process. However, in the existing technology, livestock positioning devices still require manual intervention to assist the animals in accurate positioning. This not only increases the workload of operators but may also cause additional stress and anxiety in the animals, thus affecting the safety and efficiency of the entire slaughter process.

[0003] In the prior art, patent application number 202420061035.5 discloses a pig limb positioning device for use in pig slaughterhouses to prevent loosening. This device includes a pig positioning pen, a hydraulic telescopic rod, a cover, a threaded rod, a motor, a positioning clamp, rubber blocks, and a high-voltage electric gun mechanism. The positioning clamp automatically positions and clamps the pigs within the pig positioning pen. However, during the positioning process, this device, due to the use of a fixed-size positioning clamp, cannot adapt to livestock of different lengths. Especially for livestock whose body proportions do not match the clamp design, when the clamping length is insufficient to stably support larger livestock, or when the clamping is too long, causing excessive restraint on smaller livestock, it leads to instability in livestock positioning. This not only increases the struggle and stress caused by discomfort during positioning but also affects the safety and efficiency of the slaughtering process.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a livestock positioning device for livestock slaughtering, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A livestock positioning device for slaughtering livestock includes a fence with opening and closing gates at both ends and a control panel at the top. Inside the fence is a lifting mechanism that works in conjunction with the fence. Inside the lifting mechanism is a variable distance mechanism that runs through it. At the bottom of the variable distance mechanism is a clamping mechanism that works in conjunction with the variable distance mechanism. At one end of the variable distance mechanism is a corona discharge component. The variable distance mechanism is used to position livestock of different proportions.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the positioning and clamping of livestock, the lifting frame can be moved downward by the extension of the electric telescopic rod, which in turn moves the pitch-changing mechanism and the clamping mechanism downward together, so that the pitch-changing mechanism gradually approaches the livestock, making it easier to clamp the livestock. The lifting mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod set at the top inside the fence, and a lifting frame that cooperates with the fence is set at the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod.

[0009] Furthermore, to accommodate livestock of different body shapes and lengths, the rotation of motor one drives adjacent sets of follower blocks closer together, causing several clamping rods and corresponding follower blocks to move together. Simultaneously, the movement of the livestock is propelled into the clamping mechanism by baffles one and two, achieving precise control of the clamping action and thus securely clamping livestock of different body shapes, avoiding instability in livestock positioning. The variable pitch mechanism includes a rotating column that penetrates the inside of the lifting frame. Several grooves are formed on the outer side of the rotating column, and follower columns are installed inside the grooves. Follower blocks are installed on the outer side of the top of the follower columns, and both ends of the follower blocks are connected to... The limiting column connected to the lifting frame has a limiting groove at the bottom center of the follower block that cooperates with the clamping mechanism; a set of follower blocks near the corona component has a baffle plate 1 symmetrically arranged at the bottom end, and a set of follower blocks away from the corona component has a baffle plate 2 arranged at the bottom end; a motor 1 is provided at one end of the rotating column, and the rotating column and the lifting frame are connected by a bearing 1; several sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the rotating column as the axis of symmetry, and the sliding grooves on the same side are inclined sequentially from the end of the rotating column to the middle, and the inclination angle of the sliding grooves on the same side gradually decreases from the end of the rotating column to the middle; baffle plate 1 and baffle plate 2 are arc-shaped plates that bend towards the direction of the opening and closing door, and the curvature of baffle plate 1 is greater than that of baffle plate 2.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to achieve the positioning and clamping operation of livestock, the bidirectional threaded rod rotates under the rotation of motor two, causing the two sets of moving rods to move closer to each other, so that several clamping rods can position and clamp the livestock. Through the uniform force applied by several clamping rods, the livestock is kept stable when clamped, avoiding struggle or injury caused by uneven force. The clamping mechanism includes clamping rods symmetrically arranged inside the limiting groove. The top of several clamping rods located on the same horizontal line is provided with a moving rod that cooperates with the limiting groove. A bidirectional threaded rod is provided through the middle of one side of the two sets of moving rods. Fixed rods connected to the lifting frame are provided on the outer sides of both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod. Motor two is provided at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod and cooperates with the fixed rod. The bidirectional threaded rod and the fixed rod are connected by bearing two. Several clamping rods are arc-shaped rods that bend towards the inner wall of the fence. Several clamping rods located on the same horizontal line are evenly arranged and linearly distributed inside the limiting groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model, through the coordinated design of a fence, opening and closing gate, control panel, lifting mechanism, variable distance mechanism, clamping mechanism, and corona component, not only enables the positioning of livestock, reducing their struggle and resistance during the subsequent slaughtering process and protecting the safety of operators, but also adapts to livestock of different lengths, avoiding instability in livestock positioning caused by mismatch between body proportions and clamp design, thus ensuring the safety and efficiency of the subsequent slaughtering process.

[0013] 2. Through the variable pitch mechanism, under the rotation of motor one, two adjacent sets of follower blocks can be driven to move closer to each other, and several clamping rods and the corresponding follower blocks can move together. At the same time, under the driving action of baffle one and baffle two, the livestock are driven into the interior of the clamping mechanism, realizing precise control of the clamping action, thus firmly clamping livestock of different sizes and avoiding the instability of livestock positioning.

[0014] 3. Through the clamping mechanism, the bidirectional threaded rod can be rotated under the action of the second motor, which drives the two sets of moving rods to move closer to each other, so that several clamping rods can position and clamp the livestock. Through the uniform force of several clamping rods, the livestock can be kept stable when clamped, avoiding struggle or injury caused by uneven force. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a livestock positioning device for livestock slaughtering is provided.

[0026] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the livestock positioning device for slaughtering according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a fence 1, with opening and closing doors 2 at both ends of the fence 1 and a control panel 3 at the top of the fence 1; a lifting mechanism 4 that cooperates with the fence 1 is provided inside the fence 1, a variable distance mechanism 5 is provided through the lifting mechanism 4, a clamping mechanism 6 that cooperates with the variable distance mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the variable distance mechanism 5, and a corona component 7 is provided at one end of the variable distance mechanism 5. The variable distance mechanism 5 is used to position livestock of different proportions.

[0027] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 includes an electric telescopic rod 401 located at the top of the fence 1. The bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 401 is provided with a lifting frame 402 that cooperates with the fence 1. Under the extension of the electric telescopic rod 401, the lifting frame 402 can be driven to move downward, thereby driving the pitch-changing mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 to move downward together, so that the pitch-changing mechanism 5 gradually approaches the livestock, making it easier to clamp the livestock.

[0028] In one embodiment, the pitch-changing mechanism 5 includes a rotating column 501 that passes through the inside of the lifting frame 402. Several grooves 502 are provided on the outer side of the rotating column 501. A follower column 503 is provided inside the grooves 502. A follower block 504 is provided on the outer side of the top of the follower column 503. Limiting columns 505, connected to the lifting frame 402, are provided through both ends of the follower block 504. A limiting groove 506, cooperating with the clamping mechanism 6, is provided at the center of the bottom end of the follower block 504. A first baffle 507 is symmetrically provided at the bottom end of a group of follower blocks 504 near the corona component 7, and a second baffle 508 is provided at the bottom end of a group of follower blocks 504 away from the corona component 7. A motor 509 is provided at one end of the rotating column 501, and the rotating column 501 is connected to the lifting frame 402 via a bearing 510. Several grooves 502... The rotating column 501 is symmetrically arranged with its center line as the axis of symmetry. The sliding grooves 502 on the same side are inclined from the end of the rotating column 501 towards the middle, and the inclination angle of the sliding grooves 502 on the same side gradually decreases from the end of the rotating column 501 towards the middle. The first baffle 507 and the second baffle 508 are arc-shaped plates that bend towards the opening and closing door 2, and the degree of curvature of the first baffle 507 is greater than that of the second baffle 508. Under the rotation of the first motor 509, the two adjacent sets of follower blocks 504 can be driven to move closer to each other, and several clamping rods 601 and the corresponding follower blocks 504 can move together. At the same time, under the driving action of the first baffle 507 and the second baffle 508, the livestock are driven into the interior of the clamping mechanism 6, realizing precise control of the clamping action, and thus firmly clamping livestock of different sizes, avoiding the instability of livestock positioning.

[0029] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 6 includes clamping rods 601 symmetrically arranged inside the limiting groove 506. A plurality of clamping rods 601 located on the same horizontal line have moving rods 602 that cooperate with the limiting groove 506 passing through their tops. Two sets of moving rods 602 have bidirectional threaded rods 603 passing through their middle sides. Fixed rods 604 connected to the lifting frame 402 are provided on the outer sides of both ends of the bidirectional threaded rods 603. A motor 605 cooperating with the fixed rod 604 is provided at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 603. The bidirectional threaded rod 603 and the fixed rod... The 604 are connected by bearing 606; the clamping rods 601 are arc-shaped rods that bend towards the inner wall of the fence 1. The clamping rods 601 located on the same horizontal line are evenly arranged and linearly distributed inside the limiting groove 506; under the rotation of motor 605, the bidirectional threaded rod 603 can rotate, driving the two sets of moving rods 602 to move closer to each other, so that the clamping rods 601 can position and clamp the livestock. Through the uniform force applied by the clamping rods 601, the livestock are kept stable when clamped, avoiding struggle or injury caused by uneven force.

[0030] In addition, it should be noted that the clamping rod 601 and the moving rod 602 are connected in a movable manner.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that the aforementioned moving rod 602 has a threaded groove inside that mates with the bidirectional threaded rod 603.

[0032] In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned opening and closing door 2 consists of a door frame, a door leaf, a door lock, and hinges. The working principle of the opening and closing door 2 is to open and close by moving the door leaf manually, and to ensure that the door is firmly locked when closed by the door lock. This opening and closing door 2 is existing technology, and will not be elaborated on further here.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that the aforementioned control panel 3 consists of control buttons, a display screen, a control chip, and an interface connector. The control panel 3 is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 4, the pitch-changing mechanism 5, the clamping mechanism 6, and the corona component 7. The operator inputs control commands through the buttons, and the control chip processes the commands and sends signals to the lifting mechanism 4, the pitch-changing mechanism 5, the clamping mechanism 6, and the corona component 7. The display screen shows the status information in real time, coordinating the work of the positioning device to achieve automatic clamping, corona treatment, and release of livestock, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the operation. This control panel 3 is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0034] In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned corona component 7 consists of a power supply box and electrodes. The working principle of the corona component 7 is to generate a high voltage through the power supply box and apply it to the electrodes, causing the surrounding air to ionize and generate corona discharge, thereby corona treatment of livestock. This corona component 7 is existing technology and will not be elaborated on further here.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0036] In practical application, a set of opening and closing doors 2, located away from the control panel 3, is opened. Then, the operator drives the livestock into the enclosure 1, closes the opening and closing doors 2, and activates the lifting mechanism 4 via the control panel 3. The extension of the electric telescopic rod 401 causes the lifting frame 402 to move downwards, which in turn causes the pitch-changing mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 to move downwards together. When the clamping mechanism 6 reaches the appropriate position, the lifting mechanism 4 is stopped via the control panel 3. Then, the pitch-changing mechanism 5 is activated via the control panel 3. The rotation of the motor 509 causes the follow-up... The column 503 moves along the path of the slide groove 502, thereby causing the two adjacent sets of follower blocks 504 to move closer to each other. At the same time, under the limiting action of the limiting groove 506, several clamping rods 601 move together with the corresponding follower blocks 504. Under the driving action of the first baffle 507 and the second baffle 508, the livestock move into the interior of the clamping mechanism 6 until the clamping mechanism 6 can adapt to the length of the livestock. The control panel 3 stops the pitch mechanism 5 and starts the clamping mechanism 6. Under the rotation of the second motor 605, This causes the bidirectional threaded rod 603 to rotate, driving the two sets of moving rods 602 closer together, allowing the clamping rods 601 to position and clamp the livestock. After clamping, the clamping mechanism 6 is stopped via the control panel 3, and the corona discharge assembly 7 is activated to corona discharge the livestock. After corona discharge, the clamping mechanism 6 is activated via the control panel 3. Under the reverse rotation of the motor 605, the two sets of moving rods 602 are driven away from each other, ceasing to position and clamp the livestock, and the moving rods 602 return to their original positions. Then, the control panel 3 activates the pitch control. Mechanism 5, under the reverse rotation of motor 509, drives two adjacent sets of follower blocks 504 to move away from each other, so that several clamping rods 601 and the corresponding follower blocks 504 move to their original positions. Then, the lifting mechanism 4 is started through the control panel 3. Under the contraction of the electric telescopic rod 401, the lifting frame 402 moves upward, driving the pitch mechanism 5 and clamping mechanism 6 to move to their original positions. Then, the operator opens a set of opening and closing doors 2 near the control panel 3 to move the stunned livestock out of the enclosure 1 for subsequent slaughter operations.

[0037] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, through the coordinated arrangement of the fence 1, opening and closing gate 2, control panel 3, lifting mechanism 4, pitch-changing mechanism 5, clamping mechanism 6, and corona component 7, not only can livestock be positioned, reducing their struggle and resistance during the subsequent slaughtering process and protecting the safety of operators, but it can also adapt to livestock of different lengths, avoiding instability in livestock positioning caused by mismatch between body proportions and clamp design, thus ensuring the safety and efficiency of the subsequent slaughtering process. Furthermore, the pitch-changing mechanism 5, under the rotation of motor 509, drives adjacent sets of follower blocks 504 to move closer together, and causes several clamping rods 6 to... 01 moves together with the corresponding follower block 504. At the same time, under the driving action of baffle 1 507 and baffle 2 508, the livestock move into the interior of the clamping mechanism 6, realizing precise control of the clamping action, and thus firmly clamping livestock of different sizes, avoiding instability in livestock positioning. Through the clamping mechanism 6, under the rotation of motor 2 605, the bidirectional threaded rod 603 rotates, driving the two sets of moving rods 602 to move closer to each other, so that several clamping rods 601 can position and clamp the livestock. Through the uniform force of several clamping rods 601, it is ensured that the livestock remain stable when clamped, avoiding struggle or injury caused by uneven force.
