Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of chicken processing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a rapid chicken cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] When making products such as butter chicken and Sichuan peppercorn chicken, the chicken meat to be processed needs to have its surface hair removed manually or mechanically after entering the workshop, and then be burned off with high temperature to remove any remaining fine hairs; after that, the burned chicken meat needs to be immediately put into a rapid cleaning device for cleaning, and the cleaning effect of the rapid cleaning device is very important for the subsequent braising process.
[0003] Currently, most chicken cleaning equipment on the market has many problems. Some devices use simple high-pressure water gun rinsing or soaking methods. High-pressure water guns can only remove some obvious impurities on the surface of the chicken, and are ineffective at removing small, stubborn impurities such as bloodstains, down, and bone fragments hidden in the chicken's texture, folds, and joint crevices, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Simple soaking, on the other hand, lacks sufficient physical action to remove impurities, resulting in poor cleaning. In addition, some equipment uses a single-stage cleaning mode, cleaning with a fixed program regardless of the degree of contamination of the chicken, and cannot flexibly adjust cleaning parameters according to the actual condition of different batches of chicken. This cannot meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production, seriously restricts the capacity expansion of chicken processing enterprises, and causes waste in terms of labor and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present application provides a description of a rapid chicken cleaning device.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention. The rapid chicken washing device includes a support frame 1 and a washing tank assembly mounted on the support frame 1. The washing tank assembly includes a downwardly inclined sieving tank 2 and a horizontally arranged stirring tank 3. The outlet of the sieving tank 2 is connected to the inlet of the stirring tank 3. Multiple screens 4 with different mesh sizes are sequentially arranged on the washing tank assembly, and multiple vibration mechanisms 5 are sequentially arranged on the washing tank assembly. The output end of each vibration mechanism 5 is connected to a corresponding screen 4. A weight sensor is installed at the connection between the vibration mechanism 5 and the screen 4, and both the vibration mechanism 5 and the weight sensor are electrically connected to a control mechanism. A rotating mechanism 6 is installed on the screen 4 inside the stirring tank 3, and the control mechanism is electrically connected to the rotating mechanism 6.
[0023] Specifically, the chicken to be cleaned is fed into the inlet of the washing tank 2, and slides towards the outlet under gravity. At this time, the control mechanism controls multiple vibration mechanisms 5 on the washing tank 2 to start vibrating, and the vibration mechanisms 5 drive the corresponding screens 4 to vibrate. Simultaneously, weight sensors detect the weight of the chicken carried by each screen 4 in real time and feed it back to the control mechanism. Under the action of vibration, the chicken makes full contact with the screens 4, and large impurities attached to the surface are filtered by the screens 4 with smaller mesh sizes. After preliminary filtration, the chicken continues to slide down, passing through multiple screens 4 with increasingly finer mesh sizes in sequence, while fine impurities are discharged with the washing liquid through the high-mesh screens 4. During this process, the weight sensors continuously monitor the distribution of the chicken, and the control mechanism adjusts the vibration frequency of each vibration mechanism 5 in real time based on the data detected by the weight sensors. When it is detected that the weight of a certain screen 4 is too high, the control mechanism immediately controls the corresponding vibration mechanism 5 to reduce the vibration frequency of that screen 4 to increase the amplitude, avoid the chicken from squeezing each other, and prolong the residence time of the chicken, ensuring that the impurities attached to the surface of the chicken are fully exposed, preventing insufficient screening of impurities and affecting the cleaning effect. After being screened and washed, the chicken meat enters the horizontally positioned agitation tank 3 through the outlet of the screening tank 2. The control mechanism simultaneously activates the rotating mechanism 6 and the vibrating mechanism 5 on the screen 4 within the agitation tank 3. Under the action of stirring and vibration, the chicken meat tumbles in the clean water, undergoing thorough cleaning and further removing surface residue. Through the graded screening using screens 4 of different mesh sizes and the multi-frequency vibration of the vibrating mechanism 5, the chicken meat cleaning process is automated, ensuring thorough removal of impurities, preventing screen 4 clogging, and improving cleaning efficiency. Under the action of weight sensing and the control mechanism, the vibrating mechanism 5 can actively adjust its frequency according to the distribution of the chicken meat, ensuring uniform cleaning and effective cleaning results.
[0024] Furthermore, flushing pipes (not shown in the figure) are installed on both sides of the washing tank assembly. Multiple water outlets are spaced apart on these pipes, and the water flow direction is opposite to the material discharge direction of the washing tank assembly. This reverse water flow improves the separation of impurities from the chicken surface and prevents impurities from clogging the screen 4. The evenly distributed water outlets avoid blind spots and enhance cleaning uniformity.
[0025] Furthermore, multiple screens 4 are arranged sequentially along the discharge direction of the washing tank assembly in ascending order of mesh size. First, large impurities are intercepted by the low-mesh screen 4, and then fine impurities are filtered by the high-mesh screen 4, achieving graded interception of impurities, preventing clogging of the fine screens, extending the service life of the screens 4, and improving the impurity removal and cleaning effect. In this embodiment, the washing tank 2 is equipped with two primary and intermediate screens of different mesh sizes along the discharge direction, and the washing tank 3 is equipped with a high-grade screen.
[0026] Specifically, the control mechanism can accurately control the frequency of each vibration mechanism 5 to achieve multi-frequency vibration. The vibration mechanisms 5 corresponding to the primary screen, intermediate screen, and advanced screen vibrate at frequencies of 20-25Hz, 25-30Hz, and 30-35Hz, respectively, driving the corresponding screens 4 to vibrate. Multi-frequency vibration adapts to the filtration needs of different screens 4; the primary screen vibrates at low frequency to trap large impurities; the advanced screen vibrates at high frequency to separate fine impurities.
[0027] Specifically, the inclination angle of the sieve washing tank 2 is in the range of 5°-10°, and each screen 4 is set parallel to the corresponding washing tank group. This inclination angle range can prevent the chicken from sliding too fast, so that the chicken slides down the sieve washing tank 2 smoothly and is thoroughly cleaned by clean water.
[0028] Furthermore, the screen 4 on the washing tank 2 is provided with multiple guide plates 7 in sequence along the discharge direction. Each guide plate 7 is perpendicularly connected to the screen 4 at the corresponding position and is inclined to the discharge direction of the washing tank 2. The guide plates 7 can guide the sliding chicken meat, so that the chicken meat is constantly turned over during the downward movement, avoiding blind spots in the cleaning process and improving the uniformity and quality of the cleaning.
[0029] Specifically, the tilt angle of the guide plate 7 is in the range of 30°-45°, and multiple guide plates 7 are alternately arranged on the left and right, with adjacent guide plates 7 tilting in opposite directions; the chicken is turned over multiple times by the alternately arranged guide plates 7, which thoroughly cleans the chicken and disperses it to prevent it from piling up.
[0030] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 6 includes a rotating drive unit, a rotating shaft, and stirring paddles. The rotating drive unit is disposed on the bottom surface of the screen 4 within the washing tank 3. The output end of the rotating drive unit is connected to the rotating shaft. Multiple stirring paddles are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft, and the stirring paddles are arranged vertically on the rotating shaft. The rotating drive unit drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the stirring paddles on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft rotate together. The stirring paddles are arranged vertically in sequence, forming a three-dimensional agitation of the chicken meat in the washing tank 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the chicken meat and the water. In this embodiment, the rotating drive unit is a driving device including, but not limited to, a geared motor.
[0031] Furthermore, the connection between the agitator and the shaft is equipped with an arc-shaped transition section, and the edge of the agitator has a rounded corner structure. When the agitator rotates with the shaft, the arc-shaped transition section can reduce the water flow resistance at the connection; the rounded corner edge can gently contact the chicken, causing the chicken to roll while agitating the cleaning liquid, thus avoiding breaking the chicken.
[0032] In this embodiment, the vibration mechanism 5 is an electromagnetic vibrator, which generates periodic vibration driving force through electromagnetic induction, directly acting on the screen 4 to achieve high-frequency vibration. This part is prior art and will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the vibration mechanism 5 is an eccentric shaft vibration structure, which generates centrifugal force to drive vibration through the rotation of the eccentric block, or a pneumatic vibrator, hydraulic vibrator, etc., can provide stable vibration power to the screen 4 through controllable vibration, meeting the screening and washing needs under different working conditions.
[0033] Specifically, the control mechanism includes a PLC controller and a control box (not shown in the figure) mounted on the support frame 1. The control box has a control panel on its surface. The control panel is electrically connected to the PLC controller. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the vibration mechanism 5 and the rotation mechanism 6.
[0034] The method of using this utility model is as follows: the chicken to be cleaned is put into the feed end of the screen washing tank 2, and the vibration frequency, stirring speed and other parameters are set through the control panel; after the chicken is removed by multi-frequency vibration of the grading screen 4, the guide plate 7 is flipped and rinsed by the reverse flushing pipe, it enters the stirring washing tank 3 and is washed three-dimensionally by the stirring paddle; after cleaning, it is discharged from the discharge end of the stirring washing tank 3. The entire process is controlled by the PLC controller to adaptively adjust the operation status according to the weight sensor feedback.
[0035] In this invention, the combined use of multiple screens with different mesh sizes and a vibration mechanism enables graded screening and filtration of chicken meat, as well as impurity filtration. This improves the cleaning effect and efficiency of the chicken meat, automates the cleaning process, ensures thorough impurity removal, and prevents screen clogging. A weight sensor is installed at the connection between the vibration mechanism and the screen, and both the vibration mechanism and the weight sensor are electrically connected to a control mechanism. Under the action of the weight sensor and the control mechanism, the vibration mechanism can actively adjust its frequency according to the distribution of the chicken meat, ensuring uniform cleaning and effective cleaning.
[0036] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and should all be included within the protection scope of this application.
