Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to an integrated device for ultraviolet dynamic sterilization and lighting in chicken feet slaughtering areas. Background Technology

[0002] During the slaughtering and processing of chicken feet, the cleaned chicken feet often contain a large amount of moisture, and due to their irregular shape, they are prone to irradiation blind spots in traditional ultraviolet sterilization treatment, resulting in incomplete sterilization and affecting food safety and shelf life. Furthermore, existing equipment mostly uses fixed-angle irradiation, which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the material's condition, limiting the sterilization effect. To solve these problems, a well-structured, highly automated, and efficient integrated device is needed to improve the hygiene and safety level and production efficiency of chicken feet processing.

[0003] In traditional processing methods, washed chicken feet usually contain a lot of moisture, which significantly reduces the penetrating power of ultraviolet (UV) light. This makes it difficult for UV light to effectively reach the surface of the chicken feet and the potential microorganisms inside. In addition, due to the irregular shape of chicken feet, UV light irradiation at a single fixed angle can easily create shadow areas, resulting in only the surface directly exposed to UV light being effectively sterilized. This not only reduces the overall sterilization effect of the UV lamp but may also affect the quality of the final product. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides an integrated ultraviolet dynamic sterilization and lighting device for chicken feet slaughtering areas, comprising:

[0028] The supporting mechanism 100 includes a fixed frame 101, a shock-absorbing pad 102 fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 101, a material frame 103 set at the top of the fixed frame 101, a discharge hopper 104 communicating with the material frame 103, and a screen 105 set on the inner wall of the material frame 103.

[0029] The vibration mechanism 200 includes a motor 201 adapted to be installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 101, a connecting rod 202 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201 via a coupling, a cam 203 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 202, a limiting rod 204 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 101 for supporting the material frame 103, an adjustment component 205 set on the top of the material frame 103 for sterilizing the material, and a driven component 206 used in conjunction with the adjustment component 205 during operation.

[0030] The adjustment assembly 205 includes a fixed plate 205a fixedly installed on the outer surface of the material frame 103, a double-headed motor 205b adapted to be installed on the outer surface of the fixed plate 205a, a fixed block 206c fixedly connected to the output end of the double-headed motor 205b via a coupling, L-shaped fixed blocks 205d fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the fixed plate 205a, a groove 205e formed on the outer surface of the L-shaped fixed block 205d, a slider 205f slidably connected to the outer surface of the groove 205e, and an internally threaded block 205g fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slider 205f and threadedly connected to the fixed block 206c.

[0031] Specifically, the driven component 206 includes a first guide rod 206a that slides in contact with the inner surface of the L-shaped fixing block 205d, a guide groove 206b formed on the outer surface of the L-shaped fixing block 205d and used in conjunction with the first guide rod 206a, a fixing block 206c fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the fixing plate 205a, a second guide rod 206d rotatably connected to the inner surface of the fixing block 206c, and an ultraviolet lamp plate 206e rotatably connected to the first guide rod 206a.

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom of the material frame 103 has a hollow structure, and a drainage hopper is provided at the bottom of the material frame 103.

[0033] The cleaned chicken feet typically contain a large amount of moisture. When the material enters the material frame 103 through the hopper 104, the motor 201 is started. The motor 201 drives the connecting rod 202 to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting rod 202, the cam 203 rotates synchronously. The cam 203 is in contact with the outer surface of the material frame 103 and pushes it to generate vibration. The bottom of the material frame 103 adopts a hollow structure design and is equipped with a screen 105. At the same time, the material frame 103 is set with a high and low tilt angle, so that the material can effectively drain moisture under the action of vibration. After being filtered by the screen 105, the moisture flows into the drainage hopper set below, reducing the residual moisture on the surface of the chicken feet and improving the efficiency of subsequent ultraviolet sterilization.

[0034] Furthermore, the other end of the connecting rod 202 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 101, and a bearing sleeve for rotation is installed at the connection point. The cam 203 is in contact with the outer surface of the material frame 103.

[0035] Furthermore, the limiting rod 204 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 101, and a bearing sleeve for rotation is installed at the connection point. The limiting rod 204 is symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the material frame 103.

[0036] Preferably, the outer surface of the slide groove 205e slides in contact with the inner surface of the slider 205f, and the outer surface of the first guide rod 206a slides in contact with the inner surface of the guide groove 206b.

[0037] When the material after moisture filtration enters the sterilization stage, efficient ultraviolet sterilization is achieved through the synergistic action of the adjusting component 205 and the driven component 206. The dual-head motor 205b is activated, with its output ends designed for opposite rotation; when one end rotates, the other remains relatively stationary, thereby driving the ultraviolet lamp plate 206e to adjust its angle. When the dual-head motor 205b is running, it drives the fixed block 206c to rotate. The fixed block 206c, through its threaded connection with the internal threaded block 205g, pushes it to move along the guide rail. The slider 205f and the internal threaded block... 205g is connected by a fixed installation method and slides synchronously in the groove 205e on the L-shaped fixed block 205d. During the movement of the slider 205f, the first guide rod 206a is displaced, and with the cooperation of the second guide rod 206d, the irradiation angle of the ultraviolet lamp plate 206e can be flexibly adjusted. When the output ends of both sides of the dual-head motor 205b are running at the same time, the ultraviolet lamp plate 206e can be adjusted up and down through the linkage structure, so as to adapt to chicken feet materials of different thicknesses or stacking heights, ensuring the uniformity of ultraviolet irradiation and sterilization effect.

[0038] It should be noted that the first guide rod 206a and the second guide rod 206d are rotatably connected and a bearing sleeve for rotation is installed at the connection. The fixed block 206c and the second guide rod 206d are connected and a bearing sleeve for rotation is installed at the connection. The ultraviolet lamp plate 206e and the first guide rod 206a are connected and a bearing sleeve for rotation is installed at the connection.

[0039] During use, when the cleaned chicken feet material enters the feeding hopper 104 and falls into the material frame 103, the motor 201 is started. The motor 201 drives the connecting rod 202 to rotate via a coupling. A cam 203 is installed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 202 and fits against the outer wall of the material frame 103. As the connecting rod 202 rotates, it drives the cam 203 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the material frame 103 to vibrate periodically. At the same time, the limit rods 204 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the material frame 103 and are rotatably connected to the fixing frame 101 through bearing sleeves, playing a stable support role and ensuring that the vibration process is smooth and reliable. The material frame 103 adopts a high and low tilt angle design. Under the action of vibration, the chicken feet material is displaced and turned over, so that the water attached to the surface can be fully discharged. The water is filtered by the screen 105 and flows into the drain hopper below, thereby reducing residual water and creating good conditions for subsequent ultraviolet sterilization. When adjustment is needed... When adjusting the angle of the UV lamp panel 206e, the dual-head motor 205b is activated, with its two ends rotating in opposite directions. One end rotates while the other remains relatively stationary, causing the fixed block 206c to drive the internal thread block 205g to move along the guide rail. This, in turn, pushes the slider 205f to slide in the groove 205e of the L-shaped fixed block 205d. As the slider 205f moves, it drives the first guide rod 206a. Through the coordinated movement of the guide groove 206b and the second guide rod 206d, the irradiation angle of the UV lamp panel 206e can be flexibly adjusted. If height adjustment is required, the output ends of both sides of the dual-head motor 205b operate simultaneously. Through the linkage structure, the first guide rod 206a and the second guide rod 206d work together to make the UV lamp panel 206e rise and fall, adapting to chicken feet materials of different thicknesses and ensuring uniform UV irradiation and thorough sterilization.

[0040] In summary, through the cooperation of the bearing mechanism 100 and the vibration mechanism 200, the residual moisture on the surface of the chicken feet after washing is effectively removed. The motor 201 drives the connecting rod 202 and the cam 203 to cause the highly inclined material frame 103 to vibrate, causing the chicken feet to turn over on the screen 105 and drain the moisture. At the same time, the adjusting component 205 and the driven component 206 work together to control the ultraviolet lamp plate 206e, so as to realize the flexible adjustment of the irradiation angle and height, ensuring sterilization without dead angles, enhancing the sterilization effect, and improving product quality.
