[0020] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this specification, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an adjustable belly-support conveying device, including an adjustment frame 10, a conveying frame 20, a support member 30, and a drive mechanism 40. The adjustment frame 10 is installed in a pig carcass conveying workshop. The conveying frame 20 is installed at its lower part in a manner that allows for adjustment of its tilt angle and / or distance. The distance includes a height distance or height position, and also a distance or horizontal position relative to or away from the worker in the horizontal direction. The support member 30 extends along the conveying direction of the pig carcass conveyor and is positioned vertically opposite the abdomen of the pig carcass on the conveyor to support the carcass. The support member 30 is also installed via the drive mechanism 40 in a manner consistent with the conveying speed of the pig carcass conveyor. On the conveyor frame 20, the support member 30 can support the pig carcass without stopping the machine during transport, thus ensuring work efficiency while making the pig carcass more stable. This facilitates the inspection and trimming of the pig carcass by the staff, thereby improving the consistency of inspection and trimming quality. In addition, the support member 30 can be adjusted in tilt angle or distance at the lower part of the adjustment frame along with the conveyor frame 20 to suit different work needs. For example, when the volume of a certain batch of pig carcasses is small, the horizontal position of the support of the pig carcass can be slightly adjusted to ensure that the pig carcass can maintain a relative working distance from the staff. Also, when performing different inspection and trimming items, the support angle of the pig carcass can be slightly adjusted to facilitate inspection and trimming.

[0024] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 40 includes a reducer 41, a drive shaft 42, and a driven shaft 43. The drive shaft 42 and the driven shaft 43 are respectively installed at both ends of the conveying direction of the conveying frame 20. A drive wheel 421 is sleeved on the drive shaft 42, and a driven wheel 431 is sleeved on the driven shaft 43. The conveying direction is the rotational conveying direction of the support member 30, which is also the conveying direction of the pig carcass conveyor. The reducer 41 is fixedly installed on the conveying frame 20, and the shaft of the reducer 41 is coaxially connected to the drive shaft 42. The support member 30 is simultaneously wound around the drive shaft 42. The drive shaft 42 is driven to rotate via the reducer 41 on the driven wheel 421 and the driven wheel 431. The drive shaft 42 drives the drive wheel 421 to rotate, which in turn drives the support member 30 to rotate directionally on the drive wheel 421 and the driven wheel 431. This allows it to maintain the same conveying speed and direction as the pig carcass conveyor, supporting the pig carcass without affecting its conveying efficiency, and enabling inspection and trimming of the pig carcass. In addition, the support member 30 not only supports the pig carcass but also plays a role in assisting the conveying process because it maintains the same rotational speed as the pig carcass conveyor during the support process.

[0025] In one embodiment, the support member 30 is a belly support chain, belly support chain plate, or belly support belt. Furthermore, in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, the support member 30 can be an integral or split structure. The belly support chain plate is similar to the plate structure of a track link in engineering machinery, composed of multiple evenly distributed chain plates. The chain plates engage with the outer teeth of the drive wheel 421 and driven wheel 431 via track links. The belly support chain directly engages with the outer teeth of the drive wheel 421 and driven wheel 431. The belly support belt directly wraps around the drive wheel 421 and driven wheel 431, without outer teeth, and engages with them through frictional transmission. Additionally, the pig carcass has a certain degree of rigidity and can be supported by an integral support member 30, providing good stability. Alternatively, it can be supported by a split support member 30, for example, by two or three parallel sections in the height direction.

[0026] More specifically, there are two driving wheels 421 and two driven wheels 431, which are respectively sleeved at both ends of the driving shaft 42 and the driven shaft 43, symmetrically distributed. At the same time, there are two support members 30, which is a two-section structure. The two support members 30 are respectively sleeved between the driving wheel 421 and the driven wheel 431 located at the same end. This can save raw materials, conserve resources, and reduce costs to a certain extent while effectively supporting the pig carcass.

[0027] In one embodiment, the conveyor frame 20 has an inlet end 21 and an outlet end 22 opposite to each other in the conveying direction, and a conveying section 23 between the inlet end 21 and the outlet end 22. The inlet end 21 of the conveyor frame 20 extends obliquely away from the carcass conveyor relative to the conveying section 23. The driven shaft 43 is mounted on the inlet end 21. Thus, the oblique design provides a certain guiding and limiting effect on the carcass, ensuring that the carcass conveyed by the carcass conveyor can be supported on the support member 30 instead of sliding to the back of the support member 30.

[0028] During long-term use, the support component 30 is prone to loosening, which may affect the support stability. Therefore, in one embodiment, the conveyor frame 20 is symmetrically equipped with tension cylinders 24 at both ends near the driven shaft 43. At the same time, the cylinder rods of the two tension cylinders 24 are respectively vertically connected to the two outer ends of the driven shaft 43, so as to synchronously drive the driven shaft 43 away from the driving shaft 42 and tighten the support component 30. This can ensure that the support component 30 is always kept within the optimal support tension range and has good support stability.

[0029] In one embodiment, the conveyor frame 20 is equipped with a passive rotating transition roller 25 at the pig exit end 22. The passive rotating transition roller 25 is flush with or lower than the support surface of the support member 30. The passive rotating transition roller 25 is lower than the support surface of the support member 30, meaning that the passive rotating transition roller 25 is closer to the adjustment frame 10 relative to the support member 30. The passive rotating transition roller 25 is mounted on the conveyor frame 20 by bearings sleeved at both ends. It rotates passively as the pig carcass passes by, which can prevent the pig carcass from moving in the opposite direction of the support direction when it loses the support force of the support member 30, thus avoiding any impact on the conveyor frame and the equipment around the support member.

[0030] In one embodiment, the adjustment frame 10 includes a main hanger 11, a connecting hanger 12, and a mounting frame 13;

[0031] The main hanger 11 is used to be installed in the pig carcass conveying workshop and extends horizontally. The connecting hanger 12 extends vertically and is mounted on the main hanger 11 by a first adjusting sleeve 121. A first tightening bolt 122 is installed on the first adjusting sleeve 121. The first adjusting sleeve 121 can be moved by sliding cooperation between the first adjusting sleeve 121 and the main hanger 11, thereby changing the horizontal position of the connecting hanger 12. After adjustment, the first tightening bolt 122 is screwed on to fix the first adjusting sleeve 121 on the main hanger 11.

[0032] The mounting frame 13 includes a vertical connecting part 131 and an inclined mounting part 132. The vertical connecting part 131 is embedded in the connecting hanger 12 from the bottom of the connecting hanger 12, and a second tightening bolt 123 for tightening the vertical connecting part 131 is installed on the connecting hanger 12. This allows the vertical connecting part 131 to move up and down based on the sliding fit between the vertical connecting part 131 and the connecting hanger 12, thereby changing the height position of the mounting frame 13. After adjustment, the second tightening bolt 123 is tightened to fix the vertical connecting part 131 on the connecting hanger 12. The inclined mounting part 132 extends obliquely downward relative to the vertical connecting part 131, closer to the pig carcass conveyor, and the conveyor frame 20 is installed on the inclined mounting part 132, which can tilt to support the pig carcass. Therefore, based on the connection and cooperation relationship between the main hanger 11 and the connecting hanger 12, and the connection and cooperation relationship between the connecting hanger 12 and the mounting frame 13, the support height of the conveyor frame 20 can be adjusted in the height direction, and the horizontal support position of the conveyor frame 20 can be adjusted in the horizontal direction, which can meet the different support requirements of the support component 30 for the pig carcass.

[0033] In one embodiment, the conveyor frame 20 is connected to an upper connecting rod 26 and a lower connecting rod 27 on the side near the adjusting frame 10. Simultaneously, the inclined mounting portion 132 is connected to an upper rotating sleeve 133 and a lower connecting sleeve 134. The upper rotating sleeve 133 is rotatably mounted on the inclined mounting portion 132 via a rotating shaft, and a third tightening bolt 135 is provided on the upper rotating sleeve 133. The upper connecting rod 26 is embedded through the upper rotating sleeve 133, and the lower connecting rod 27 is embedded in the lower connecting sleeve 134. A fourth tightening bolt 136 is installed on the lower connecting sleeve 134 to tighten the lower connecting rod 27 after it moves into position within the lower connecting sleeve 134. Thus, the tilt angle of the conveyor frame 20 can be adjusted by moving the positions of the upper connecting rod 26 and the lower connecting rod 27 within the upper rotating sleeve 133 and the lower connecting sleeve 134. The connection between the lower connecting rod 27 and the conveyor frame 20 is hinged. For example, when the lower connecting rod 27 moves in the supporting direction while the upper connecting rod 26 moves in the opposite direction, or when the lower connecting rod 27 and the upper connecting rod 26 move in the supporting direction at the same time, and the lower connecting rod 27 moves a greater distance, the tilt angle of the supporting member 30 relative to the vertical plane is greater.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, third and fourth" used in this application are for descriptive purposes only, do not indicate any order, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. These terms can be interpreted as names.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from the stated principles.
