Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric plucking devices for poultry and livestock, and in particular to a notched cone-shaped head for use in plucking devices and the electric plucking device for poultry and livestock. Background Technology

[0002] In the poultry and livestock processing sector, particularly in the processing of pig, dog, duck, and chicken feathers, electric poultry and livestock hair removers are widely used in home slaughterhouses, small and medium-sized farms, and industrial processing settings as a highly efficient tool for removing poultry and livestock hair. Compared to traditional manual hair removal methods, electric poultry and livestock hair removers significantly improve work efficiency and greatly reduce labor costs through mechanized operation. They also effectively reduce the risk of damage to poultry and livestock meat during processing, ensuring the hygiene and integrity of the processed meat.

[0003] In existing technologies, some electric poultry and livestock plucking devices employ a hand-held main body with a double-cone head structure. A built-in power system drives two mutually abutting cone heads to rotate relative to each other, utilizing the friction of the cone surfaces to pull out the poultry and livestock feathers. This structure has significant drawbacks in practical use: First, the narrow gap between the two cone heads makes it difficult to accommodate thick, dense poultry and livestock feathers, especially the vascular hairs of ducks, leading to frequent feather jamming during plucking. This not only reduces plucking efficiency but may also damage the equipment due to excessive localized force. Second, due to the limitations of the cone head structure, rapid, sweeping plucking cannot be achieved when processing densely feathered areas such as wings, tails, and vascular hairs, requiring multiple angle adjustments or repeated operations, significantly impacting overall processing efficiency. Furthermore, jammed feathers easily become entangled on the cone head components, increasing equipment cleaning and maintenance costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to optimize and improve the structure of existing double-cone head electric poultry and livestock plucking devices to solve the above technical problems and improve the efficiency and reliability of poultry and livestock plucking. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0005] A notched cone for use in a hair removal device includes two mating cone bodies. Each cone body includes a connecting portion and a hair removal portion formed in front of the connecting portion. The hair removal portion has a cone-shaped structure and a notch is provided on the side of the hair removal portion, which is located in the rear half of the hair removal portion.

[0006] Preferably, the notch is a flat portion parallel to the axis of the cone body, and the two cone bodies are angled together so that the flat portions of the two cone bodies gradually approach each other from back to front and finally abut.

[0007] Preferably, the notch portion has an arc-shaped portion at the rear end of the flat portion. When the two cone-shaped bodies are engaged, the arc-shaped portions on the two hair-plucking portions abut against each other, so that the notches of the two hair-plucking portions can form a closed-loop structure after being joined.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the plucking section is set to a frosted surface.

[0009] Preferably, a twisting part is provided between the connecting part and the plucking part, and the twisting part is provided with a tool twisting groove.

[0010] An electric plucking device for poultry and livestock includes a notched cone head as described above, a handheld part, a power mechanism installed inside the handheld part, and rotating rods rotatably connected to the end of the handheld part. The two rotating rods are poweredly connected to the power mechanism, so that the two rotating rods can rotate in opposite directions and are angled together. The two cone heads are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two rotating rods through connecting parts.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] By creating a notch in the rear half of the plucking section, a larger gap is formed in the rear half of the plucking section when the two cone-shaped main bodies rotate. This allows thick, dense poultry and livestock feathers to enter and be gripped smoothly, especially the vascular feathers of ducks, which can be easily clamped and pulled out, avoiding feather jamming problems caused by narrow gaps. At the same time, the clamping area formed by the notch and the side of the plucking section can accurately grip the root of the poultry and livestock feathers, and pull the feathers out along the gap through rotational motion. Compared with traditional structures, this significantly reduces cone jamming or stopping, and significantly improves plucking efficiency and equipment stability. In addition, this structure simplifies the plucking operation process, supports rapid horizontal sweeping of densely feathered areas of poultry and livestock without the need for repeated angle adjustments, which reduces equipment maintenance costs and enhances the applicability and reliability of poultry and livestock plucking.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, a notched cone head for use in a plucking device includes two mating cone heads 10. Each cone head 10 includes a connecting portion 11 and a plucking portion 12 formed at the front of the connecting portion 11. The cone head 10 is used to connect to an electric poultry and livestock plucking device. In addition to the cone head 10, the electric poultry and livestock plucking device also includes a handheld portion 20, a power mechanism 21 installed inside the handheld portion 20, and a rotating rod 22 rotatably connected to the end of the handheld portion 20. The two rotating rods 22 are poweredly connected to the power mechanism 21, so that the two rotating rods 22 can rotate in opposite directions and are angularly mated. The two cone head 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two rotating rods 22 through the connecting portion 11. A button is also provided on the handheld part 20. Pressing the button 24 will drive the power mechanism 21. The power mechanism 21 mainly consists of a motor and a battery. A corresponding control board 23 is configured, and the battery, motor, and button are all electrically connected to the control board 23. In use, when the button 24 is pressed, the control board 23 receives the button press signal and connects the motor and battery, so that the battery supplies power to the motor to drive the motor. The motor will drive the two rotating rods 22 to rotate. There can be one or two motors. When there is one motor, a gear transmission mechanism is also required to drive the two rotating rods 22 to rotate in opposite directions at the same time. When there are two motors, they can be used to control the motor. The rotation of the two rotating rods 22 can achieve different control effects by adjusting the speed of rotation or rotating them sequentially. When the rotating rods 22 are driven to rotate, the cone-shaped body 10 at the end of the rotating rods 22 can rotate together with the rotating rods 22, thereby removing the hair from the poultry and livestock. The cone-shaped body 10 is connected to the end of the rotating rod 22 through the connecting part 11, which is generally a snap-fit ​​or screw connection, which can ensure the firmness of the connection and facilitate disassembly. Of course, the connecting part 11 and the end of the rotating rod 22 can also be made into an integral structure to ensure the firmness and reliability of the fit between the cone-shaped body 10 and the rotating rod 22.

[0023] Based on the above technical solution, this patent further proposes that the plucking part 12 is a conical structure, and a notch 13 is provided on the side of the plucking part 12. The notch 13 is located in the rear half of the plucking part 12. By providing the notch 13 on the plucking part 12, a gap is generated between the two plucking parts 12 when the plucking part 12 rotates to clamp relatively coarse poultry and livestock hair. When clamping, the hair is stuck by the position between the notch 13 and the side of the plucking part 12. Then, the stuck hair is pulled out along the gap generated by the notch 13 by rotation. This operation process can greatly reduce the occurrence of coarse hair getting stuck between the two conical bodies 10, causing the conical bodies 10 to stop operating.

[0024] Please see Figure 2-4Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that the notch 13 is a flat part 131 parallel to the axis of the cone head body 10, and the two cone head bodies 10 are angled together so that the flat parts 131 of the two cone head bodies 10 gradually approach each other from back to front and finally abut. This achieves the adaptation and stable clamping of poultry and livestock hair of different thicknesses. In the case of coarser poultry and livestock hair, the flat part 131 can guide backward to alleviate the jamming phenomenon between poultry and livestock hair and cone head body 10, making the hair removal effect smoother. On the notch 13, there is an arc-shaped surface 132 at the rear end of the flat part 131. When the two cone-shaped main bodies 10 are engaged, the arc-shaped surfaces 132 on the two plucking parts 12 abut against each other, so that the notch 13 of the two plucking parts 12 can form a closed-loop structure after being connected. This ensures that the notch 13 is seamlessly connected at the rear end, effectively preventing poultry and livestock hair from escaping or tangling backward during the plucking process, and greatly reducing the risk of equipment failure. This closed-loop structure can also achieve all-round wrapping and plucking of poultry and livestock hair. Whether it is horizontal or vertical hair, it can be quickly processed by sweeping or point-touch operation. It is especially suitable for areas with dense and messy hair, such as poultry and livestock wings and tails, which significantly improves plucking efficiency and integrity. This structure makes the force distribution between the cone-shaped main bodies 10 more uniform, reduces local wear, extends the service life of the equipment, and combines practicality and economy.

[0025] Please see Figure 2-3 Based on the above technical solution, it is further proposed that the surface of the plucking part 12 be set as a frosted surface. The frosted surface design increases the roughness of the surface of the plucking part 12, effectively enhancing the friction between it and the poultry and livestock hair, so that the poultry and livestock hair can be more firmly clamped during the plucking process, reducing the problem of incomplete plucking caused by slippage, which is especially suitable for processing the smooth surface of waterfowl and livestock hair. A screwing part 14 is also provided between the connecting part 11 and the plucking part 12, and a tool screwing groove 141 is provided on the screwing part 14; this provides convenience for the disassembly and installation of the cone head body 10. Users can use tools such as screwdrivers to quickly rotate the screwing part 14 to disassemble and assemble the cone head body 10 and the rotating rod 22. This not only facilitates the daily maintenance of the equipment and the replacement of worn parts, but also allows for the flexible replacement of cone head bodies 10 of different specifications according to the characteristics of different poultry and livestock hair, significantly improving the versatility and ease of operation of the electric poultry and livestock plucking device, and reducing equipment maintenance costs and the threshold for use.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
