Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken processing, and in particular to a chicken processing and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken processing is a crucial step in food production. Through various steps, chicken is processed into pieces of different sizes and cuts for subsequent sales and consumption. Sorting devices play a vital role in chicken processing, classifying and processing the chicken according to its different parts, weight, and quality. Through automated equipment, sorting devices can quickly distribute processed chicken to different storage and sales areas, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing time costs, and ensuring that each part of the meat can be allocated in a timely and accurate manner.

[0003] The sorting device consists of multiple components, typically including a conveying system, detection sensors, and a control system. These components work together to classify and distribute the processed chicken meat. By sorting quickly according to preset standards, the efficiency of the production process is greatly improved, and time costs and operational errors are reduced.

[0004] From a structural perspective, traditional manual sorting is inefficient. Due to the limitations of physical strength and attention, manual operation cannot maintain high efficiency. In the process of manual sorting, due to the lack of accurate automated control, errors or repetitive operations are prone to occur. Moreover, the sorting speed is affected by individual ability and environmental conditions, resulting in unstable production line speed, which in turn affects overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a chicken processing and sorting device, which aims to improve the problems of low efficiency, easy error or repetitive operation in traditional manual sorting. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a chicken processing and sorting device, including a support frame, a motor fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame, a conveyor belt fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a plurality of anti-detachment plates fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and a sorting component fixedly connected to the top of the support frame.

[0007] The sorting assembly includes a sorting plate one, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. A sorting plate two is fixedly connected to the top of the sorting plate one. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the side wall of each anti-detachment plate. The slide rail is located on the outer surface of the conveyor belt. Multiple receiving slots are fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame. A dust removal assembly is provided on the side wall of the support frame.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the dust removal assembly includes a fixing rod, which is disposed on the side wall of the conveyor belt, and the side wall of the conveyor belt is provided with a receiving platform.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: multiple motors are fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving platform, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the output end of one of the motors, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of another motor.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the side wall of the receiving platform is fixedly connected with multiple fixing plates.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the worm gear is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed plate.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the side wall of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to a receiving plate, and the receiving plate is fixedly connected to a fixing rod.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod, and the worm gear meshes with the worm.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: an air pump is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving plate, and a nozzle is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the starting motor drives the conveyor belt to send the chicken to one end of the conveyor belt. Through the convex structure in the middle of the sorting plate, when the chicken touches the sorting plate, the conveyor belt can send the chicken along the shape trajectory of the sorting plate to the receiving trough, thereby sorting out the chicken with lower height. The sorting plate is on top of the sorting plate. When the chicken with higher height passes through the conveyor belt, the sorting plate will block the chicken, so that the chicken slides into the receiving trough on the other side along the trajectory of the sorting plate, thereby achieving the initial sorting of chicken with different heights, greatly improving the efficiency of chicken sorting, reducing errors, and making the sorting process more accurate.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, starting motor two drives the worm gear to rotate. Due to the meshing relationship between the worm wheel and the worm, the motor drives the rotating rod and the fixed plate, thereby causing the entire dust removal assembly to swing around the fixed plate as an axis. This allows the nozzle at the output end of the air pump to spray gas at different angles to achieve the cleaning function. Then, starting another motor two drives the entire assembly to swing at another angle. Through this multi-angle swing, dust can be effectively removed even in dead corners. It can quickly remove debris generated during the sorting process, ensure the hygiene and safety of the working environment, guarantee the overall quality of chicken processing, and reduce time costs.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a chicken processing and sorting device, including a support frame 1. The support frame 1 serves as the foundation of the overall structure, providing stable support. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 1. The motor 2 provides power through a drive transmission system, enabling the conveyor belt 3 to run smoothly and ensuring that the chicken can be transported smoothly to the sorting area, thus playing a driving role. The output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 serves as the main component for material transportation, ensuring the smooth transfer of chicken in the processing equipment during processing and ensuring that other components can work efficiently. Multiple anti-drop plates 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. The anti-drop plates 4 prevent chicken from falling during the conveying process, providing a protective effect for stable material transmission and effectively improving the working efficiency of the equipment. A sorting component is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. The sorting component includes a sorting plate 5, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. The sorting plate 5, through a reasonable angle and layout, ensures that chicken with a lower height can be initially screened and sorted when passing by, improving the overall sorting effect. The top of the sorting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. The system is equipped with a sorting plate 2 (7), which blocks taller chicken pieces and filters them out, further improving sorting efficiency. It also allows for more precise classification based on different chicken types, ensuring processing quality. Each anti-detachment plate 4 has a fixed slide rail 6 on its side wall. The slide rail 6 ensures that the chicken flows smoothly along a specific route during sorting, preventing material misalignment and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire sorting device. The slide rail 6 is located on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 3, forming a smooth transport channel with the conveyor belt 3, effectively preventing chicken from falling and improving the overall system efficiency. The support frame 1 has multiple receiving slots 8 fixedly connected to its side wall. These receiving slots 8 accommodate sorted chicken, providing reasonable collection space during sorting to ensure effective reception and distribution of chicken at each stage, preventing material accumulation. The support frame 1 also has a dust removal component on its side wall. This component promptly removes dust from the air during processing, ensuring a clean working environment, effectively preventing impurities from adhering to the chicken surface, ensuring the processing quality of the chicken, and improving the long-term operational stability of the equipment.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The dust removal assembly includes a fixed rod 14, which is installed on the side wall of the support frame 1 to support the entire assembly structure and ensure the stability of the dust removal system. A receiving platform 18 is installed on the side wall of the conveyor belt 3 to support the motors and other transmission components, ensuring stable operation of the assembly. Multiple motors 9 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving platform 18. A worm gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of each motor 9. The worm gear 11 drives the rotation of a rotating rod 12. The cooperation between the worm gear 11 and the worm wheel 13 ensures accurate control of the rotation angle, thereby adjusting the working range and efficiency of the dust removal device. Another motor 9 has a rotating rod 12 fixedly connected to its output end. The rotating rod 12, driven by the worm gear 11, causes the receiving plate 15 to rotate, pushing the nozzles 17 in the dust removal device to spray air in a directional manner. Multiple fixed plates 10 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving platform 18 to ensure the stable fixation of each transmission component, preventing vibrations during operation from affecting operational accuracy. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate 10. The rotation of the worm gear 11 provides torque, ensuring sufficient power when the worm wheel 13 meshes with the worm gear 11. The rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 10, ensuring the flexibility of the entire rotating system. A receiving plate 15 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 12. The receiving plate 15 supports the air pump 16 and the nozzle 17, enabling the nozzle 17 to effectively spray airflow for dust removal when needed. A fixed rod 14 is fixedly connected inside the receiving plate 15. The receiving plate 15 can be freely adjusted in angle to adapt to different working environments when needed. A worm gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 14. The worm gear 13 meshes with the worm 11 and works with the torque generated by the rotation of the worm 11. An air pump 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving plate 15. The function of the air pump 16 is to provide high-pressure airflow to ensure that the nozzle 17 can spray airflow efficiently. The nozzle 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 16. The nozzle 17 effectively cleans the dust removal area by spraying airflow, improving the overall dust removal effect.

[0028] Working Principle: When initial sorting of chicken by height is required, motor 2 drives conveyor belt 3, sending the chicken to one end of conveyor belt 3. Through the convex structure in the middle of sorting plate 5, when the chicken touches sorting plate 5, the conveyor belt 3 moves the chicken along the shape and trajectory of sorting plate 5 to receiving trough 8, thus separating the shorter chicken. Sorting plate 7 is located on top of sorting plate 5. When taller chicken passes by conveyor belt 3, sorting plate 7 blocks the chicken, causing it to slide along the trajectory of sorting plate 7 into receiving trough 8 on the other side. This achieves initial sorting of chicken of different heights, greatly improving sorting efficiency, reducing errors, and making the sorting process more accurate. When it is necessary to clean impurities generated during the sorting process... During cleaning, motor 29 is started to drive worm gear 11. Worm gear 11 rotates inside fixed plate 10. Through the meshing relationship between worm gear 11 and worm wheel 13, worm wheel 13 is driven. Due to the fixed relationship between fixed rod 14 and worm wheel 13, the entire dust removal assembly swings around fixed rod 14 as the axis. This causes the gas in air pump 16 to be sprayed out at different angles through nozzle 17. At this time, another motor 29 is started to drive rotating rod 12. Through the rotation relationship between rotating rod 12 and fixed plate 10, the entire dust removal assembly swings around fixed plate 10 as the axis. Through this multi-angle swing, dust can be effectively removed even in dead corners. It can quickly remove debris generated during sorting, ensure the hygiene and safety of the working environment, guarantee the overall quality of chicken processing, and reduce time costs.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
