Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weight sorting machine technology, specifically a weight sorting machine for chicken feet food. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, chicken feet are an important category of snacks and catering ingredients. The industrial production of chicken feet has an increasing demand for automated sorting equipment. Weight sorting is a key step in the chicken feet processing process, which directly affects the consistency of product specifications, production efficiency and cost control.

[0003] Chicken feet often have a lot of moisture attached after pre-processing such as washing and braising. Traditional sorting machines do not have a dedicated water filtration mechanism, resulting in the weight data including the weight of water, which leads to a large deviation in grading accuracy. In addition, excessive water content on the surface of chicken feet will leave a lot of water residue in the weighing area after weighing. This not only affects the accuracy of the weighing data, but also reduces the risk of sensor failure due to moisture by reducing water accumulation in the weighing area. Therefore, there is a need for a weight sorting machine for chicken feet food that combines efficient water filtration and accurate weighing to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a weight sorting machine for chicken feet food products to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a weight sorting machine for chicken feet food, comprising a weighing platform and a discharge plate, wherein the discharge plate is disposed on the upper part of the weighing platform, and a water filtration mechanism is disposed above the weighing platform, the water filtration mechanism comprising an inclined guide and an extrusion assembly, wherein the inclined guide is fixed at the upper end face of the weighing platform, the extrusion assembly is rotatably connected in the inner cavity of the inclined guide, the extrusion assembly comprising an extrusion plate and a rotating frame, wherein the extrusion plate is rotatably connected in the inner cavity of the inclined guide, and the two rotating frames are respectively fixed at both ends of the extrusion plate.

[0006] Preferably, the inner bottom wall of the inclined guide is provided with a filter hole, and both sides of the inner wall of the inclined guide are provided with strip-shaped leakage holes.

[0007] Preferably, the inner walls on both sides of the inclined guide are provided with flipping grooves, and the rotating frame slides and matches the flipping grooves of the inclined guide.

[0008] Preferably, a clearance opening is provided on one inner wall of the inclined guide, and the lower end of the inclined guide is aligned with the material drop plate.

[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is fixed to the lower end face of the inclined guide frame, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to the bottom of the rotating frame.

[0010] Preferably, a first cylinder is fixed to the upper surface of the weighing platform, and a second cylinder is provided on one side of the first cylinder on the upper surface of the weighing platform. Push plates are fixed to the output ends of the first cylinder and the second cylinder, and sorting slides are provided in the forward direction of the two push plates. A machine platform is fixed to the bottom of the weighing platform.

[0011] This utility model provides a weight sorting machine for chicken feet food, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] By using a water filtration mechanism and an inclined guide frame, the chicken feet are allowed to drain most of their surface water naturally by gravity as they slide down the slide. The filter holes and strip-shaped drainage holes form a three-dimensional channel for simultaneous drainage from the bottom and sides, preventing water from flowing back and contaminating the materials. The water filtration design reduces the problem of inaccurate weighing of chicken feet due to excessive residual water in the previous washing process. It also prevents excessive residual water from remaining on the material drop plate, which would affect the weighing accuracy of the weighing platform and the sorting of chicken feet by size.

[0013] By using the set extrusion components, the extrusion plate cooperates with the inner wall of the inclined guide to apply a certain extrusion force to the chicken feet, so as to further remove the adsorbed water and capillary water in the chicken feet meat, reduce the moisture content and control the weighing error, which is more accurate than traditional waterless equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a weight sorting machine for chicken feet food, including a weighing platform 1 and a discharge plate 2. The discharge plate 2 is set on the upper part of the weighing platform 1. A water filtration mechanism 8 is set above the weighing platform 1. The water filtration mechanism 8 includes an inclined guide 9 and an extrusion assembly 11. The inclined guide 9 is fixed at the upper end face of the weighing platform 1. The extrusion assembly 11 is rotatably connected in the inner cavity of the inclined guide 9. The inner bottom wall of the inclined guide 9 is provided with a filter hole 10. The inner walls on both sides of the inclined guide 9 are provided with strip-shaped leakage holes 14. A pre-treatment unit is set up to solve the interference of surface moisture of chicken feet on weighing accuracy. Multi-stage water filtration is achieved by the inclined guide 9 and the extrusion assembly 11 working together.

[0021] Further as Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the extrusion assembly 11 includes an extrusion rotating plate 15 and a rotating frame 16. The extrusion rotating plate 15 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the inclined guide frame 9. The two rotating frames 16 are respectively fixed at both ends of the extrusion rotating plate 15. The inner walls on both sides of the inclined guide frame 9 are provided with flipping grooves 13. The rotating frame 16 slides and matches the flipping grooves 13 of the inclined guide frame 9. The inner wall on one side of the inclined guide frame 9 is provided with a clearance opening 12. The lower end of the inclined guide frame 9 is aligned with the material drop plate 2. The drive motor 17 drives the rotating frame 16 to rotate, and the extrusion rotating plate 15 swings accordingly, forming a periodic opening and closing with the inner wall of the inclined guide frame 9, applying a flexible extrusion force to the chicken feet to remove adsorbed water and capillary water, resulting in a low moisture content.

[0022] Further as Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the lower end face of the inclined guide 9 is fixed with a drive motor 17, and the output shaft of the drive motor 17 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating frame 16. It adopts a geared motor to provide stable torque for the extrusion assembly 11; the speed is adjustable to meet the dehydration needs of chicken feet with different moisture contents.

[0023] Further as Figure 1As shown, it is worth noting that a first cylinder 4 is fixed on the upper surface of the weighing platform 1, and a second cylinder 5 is set on one side of the first cylinder 4 on the upper surface of the weighing platform 1. Push plates 6 are fixed to the output ends of the first cylinder 4 and the second cylinder 5, respectively. Sorting slides 7 are set in the forward direction of the two push plates 6. A machine platform 3 is fixed at the bottom of the weighing platform 1, and the lower end of the inclined guide 9 is aligned with the center of the dropping plate 2 with a small deviation to ensure that the chicken feet fall accurately into the weighing area after water filtration.

[0024] The solution has the following working process: Before use, chicken feet are evenly arranged and conveyed to the inclined guide 9 through the feeding system. Since the inclined guide 9 is inclined on the dropping plate 2 used for weighing, and the bottom wall of the inclined guide 9 is evenly provided with filter holes 10, the chicken feet can slide down the sliding plate of the inclined guide 9 onto the extrusion plate 15. The inclined guide 9 facilitates the filtering of residual water during the sliding process of the chicken feet, thereby reducing the trouble of insufficient weighing of chicken feet due to excessive residual water in the previous washing process. In addition, reducing the moisture content of the chicken feet can prevent excessive residual water from remaining on the dropping plate 2, thereby affecting the weighing accuracy of the weighing platform 1 and the sorting of chicken feet specifications.

[0025] When the chicken feet fall onto the extrusion plate 15, the drive motor 17 controls the extrusion plate 15 to rotate to one side inside the inclined guide 9. This reduces the angle between the extrusion plate 15 and one side wall of the inclined guide 9, thus extruding the chicken feet and further reducing the residual water content. After the water is extruded from the chicken feet, the drive motor 17 controls the extrusion plate 15 to reverse, separating the extrusion plate 15 from the other side wall of the inclined guide 9 and opening the drop port. Finally, the dehydrated chicken feet fall onto the dropping plate 2 of the weighing platform 1 for weighing. The weighing module inside the weighing platform 1 obtains the weight data of a single chicken foot and compares it with the preset grading standards such as light, medium, and heavy grades. Then, the first cylinder 4 or the second cylinder 5 corresponding to the standard drives the pusher plate 6 to push the chicken feet on the dropping plate 2 into the corresponding sorting chute 7.

[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, this does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model. Regarding the embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model.
