Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for deboning poultry claws and cutting the back of the toes, belonging to the field of food processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken feet, duck feet, and other poultry feet are becoming increasingly popular with consumers due to their diverse flavors, and deboned poultry feet are especially sought after because they are boneless. Both the phalanges and metatarsals of poultry feet need to be removed. Current methods for removing phalanges involve fixing the foot in place, using a tube cutter to align with the end of the phalange, rotating it to insert the phalange into the cutter, and then pulling it out. This preserves the integrity of the toe's skin and flesh, as well as the final appearance. However, this method makes it difficult to inspect for bone fragments remaining inside the toe. Additionally, some customers require the back of the toe to be cut open for a clearer view of the entire internal structure of the poultry foot.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic device for cutting the back of toes to solve the above problems, especially a device that can cut the back of multiple toes of the same pair of bird claws at the same time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a toe-cutting device for deboning multiple bird claws and toes at the same time, without damaging the toe bones.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a device for deboning bird claws and cutting the back of the toe includes a base 1. The base 1 has a guide block 2 and a telescopic drive 3. The output end of the telescopic drive 3 has a rotatable connecting rod 4, which slides through the guide block 2. The free end of the connecting rod 4 has a cutter 5 arranged along the length direction of the bird claw toe, with the blade of the cutter 5 pointing towards the back of the fixed bird claw toe. The axial direction of the guide block 2 is consistent with the length direction of the toe. The free end of the connecting rod 4 extends out from the axial direction of the guide block 2, so the cutting direction of the blade of the cutter 5 can be consistent with the length direction of the toe, reducing the positioning accuracy requirement of the telescopic drive 3. The connecting rod 4 is connected to the output end of the telescopic drive 3 through a connecting seat 31, and the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the connecting seat 31.

[0024] Preferably, the connecting rod 4 includes a first connecting rod 41 rotatably connected to the output end of the telescopic drive 3, and the other end of the first connecting rod 41 rotatably connected to a second connecting rod 42. The free end of the second connecting rod 42 passes through the guide block 2 and extends out. The rotatable connection ends of the cutter 5 and the second connecting rod 42 are located at opposite ends of the guide block 2. When the first connecting rod 41 is pushed, the first connecting rod 41 can change direction to adapt to the orientation of the second connecting rod 42, which is constrained by the guide block 2. This ensures that the cutter 5 can move and cut with the second connecting rod 42 without changing direction. The change of direction of the first connecting rod 41 allows for a larger installation space for the telescopic drive 3, eliminating the requirement that the cutting direction of the cutter 5 be consistent with the telescopic direction of the telescopic drive 3.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, there are three guide blocks 2, connecting rods 4, and cutters 5, corresponding to the three forked toes of a bird's claw. Furthermore, the three connecting rods 4 share a single telescopic drive 3, and the steerability of the connecting rods 4 does not require consideration of whether the cutting direction of the cutter 5 is consistent with the telescopic direction of the telescopic drive 3. For toes whose length direction is consistent with the telescopic direction of the drive 3, the connecting rods 4 do not need to be two; one end can be rotatably connected.

[0026] To better control the cutting force of the cutter 5 on the back of the toes of poultry feet, the guide block 2 is elastically connected to the base 1. In this way, the cutter 5 can better adapt to poultry feet of different fatness and leanness, only cutting through the skin and meat, preventing overcutting and damaging the toe bones, and preventing bone fragments from remaining inside when removing the toe bones.

[0027] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the elastic connection, the guide block 2 is connected to the base 1 via a pin 6, and a spring 7 is provided between the base 1 and the guide block 2. The cap end of the pin 6 is on the base 1, and the free end extends into the guide block 2. The pin 6 is movably connected to the base 1. When the guide block 2 rises under the force of the cutter 5, it will compress the spring; conversely, the spring will return to its original position. Of course, the guide block 2 can also be connected to the base 1 in other elastic ways, as long as the guidance of the guide block 2 to the cutter 5 remains unchanged.

[0028] To ensure the stability of the guide block 2's elastic lifting, at least two pins 6 and springs 7 are provided between the guide block 2 and the base 1. Each spring 7 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the corresponding pin 6 to prevent the guide block 2 from tilting due to uneven force, which would affect the cutting direction of the cutter 5.

[0029] To further accommodate poultry feet of varying sizes and shapes, the distance between the blade of the cutter 5 and the connecting rod 4 is adjustable. Specifically, the cutter 5 has a slotted hole through which the screw connecting the connecting rod 4 passes, allowing the blade of the cutter 5 to be moved closer to or further away from the connecting rod 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the blade and the poultry foot fixing mold 100.

[0030] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive 8, which is mounted on the frame of the poultry claw deboning machine. This facilitates the lifting and lowering of the toe-cutting device and is suitable for the poultry claw fixing mold 100 used in assembly line production. The lifting drive 8 includes a cylinder 81 and a telescopic rod 82, which is connected to the base 1.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 is provided with a pressing member 9 perpendicular to the poultry claw fixing mold 100 and located above the large bone of the poultry claw to be fixed. The pressing member 9 may include a first pressing member 91 and a second pressing member 92. The first pressing member 91 presses against the large bone and the cartilaginous end, and the second pressing member 92 elastically presses against the thumb part of the large bone, so as to ensure the flatness of the entire poultry claw as much as possible and to ensure the controllability of the cutting depth.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 is linked to the upper pressure mold 101 of the poultry claw fixing mold 100. Preferably, the upper pressure mold 101 is driven to rise and fall to adjust the pressure on the poultry claw through the linkage 11 and the upper pressure mold 101, thereby saving power and simplifying the structure.

[0033] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the machine rotates the poultry claw fixing mold 100 to the work station of this utility model, the lifting drive 8 works to press the base 1 down to the top part 9 and the poultry claw, while the cutter 5 is aligned with each toe. Then the telescopic drive 3 works to drive the cutter 5 to move along the length of the toe to cut the skin and flesh on the back of the toe. After completion, the telescopic drive 3 stops working, and the lifting drive 8 works to lift the base 1 and release the poultry claw fixing mold 100.
