Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry and livestock processing machinery technology, specifically to a broiler processing feeding device and production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the broiler processing industry, with the continuous growth of market demand and the expansion of production scale, traditional manual processing methods are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of high-efficiency production. Therefore, broiler processing is gradually developing towards assembly lines and mechanization. However, while existing mechanized processing technologies have improved production efficiency to some extent, some problems still need to be addressed. For example, patent document CN110024839A discloses a poultry scalding and defecation device that can automatically feed the chickens, thus accelerating the processing progress. However, this technology has significant limitations in practical applications, namely, it cannot accurately screen and classify chicken carcasses. Specifically, it cannot distinguish between qualified and unqualified chicken carcasses, and cannot achieve accurate feeding. This may lead to unqualified products being mixed into the final product, affecting product quality and safety, and also increasing the workload of subsequent quality inspection and screening. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a broiler processing feeding device and production line to solve the problem that existing broiler processing feeding devices cannot achieve accurate feeding.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a broiler processing unloading device for unloading chicken carcasses suspended by hooks on a logistics line. The unloading device includes a support frame, one end of which is provided with a first mounting seat. The support frame is provided with an unloading rack for the chicken carcasses to slide off the hooks. The top of the unloading rack is inclined so that the height of the top of the unloading rack gradually increases along the conveying direction of the logistics line, and the top of the unloading rack bends toward the first mounting seat. A feeding channel for the chicken carcasses to pass through is formed between the first mounting seat and the unloading rack.

[0005] The first mounting base is provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second mounting base. The second mounting base is provided with a pneumatic actuator, which is located on the side of the second mounting base and rotates around the axis of the first rotating shaft via the second mounting base. The output end of the pneumatic actuator is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, and the middle part of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft. The first mounting base is also provided with a limit stop to limit the counterclockwise swing range of the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod cannot continue to rotate when it reaches the first working position. The support frame is also provided with a baffle to limit the clockwise swing range of the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod cannot continue to rotate when it reaches the second working position. The first mounting base is provided with a control cabinet, and the pneumatic actuator is electrically connected to the control cabinet.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting rod is a single piece of rod bent into a Z-shape, dividing it into an integrally connected push rod, connecting rod, and swing rod. The push rod and swing rod are connected by the connecting rod. The push rod is used to rotatably connect to the output end of the pneumatic actuator, and the swing rod is used to push the chicken carcass onto the unloading rack. The connection between the push rod and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, a push plate is provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the pneumatic actuator.

[0008] Furthermore, a hydraulic buffer is installed on the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, a downward sliding track is inclinedly installed on the support frame, and the downward sliding track is located below the material receiving channel.

[0010] A broiler processing and feeding assembly line includes the aforementioned broiler processing and feeding device and a hanging frame. The hanging frame includes a vertical support column and a horizontal hanging rod. The hanging rod is located above the logistics line. The support column is used to support the hanging rod. The support column and the hanging rod are fixedly connected. Multiple hooks are evenly spaced along the length of the logistics line.

[0011] The hanging rod is also equipped with an identification device and a grading device. The grading device is located at the front end of the logistics line in the transmission direction and is used to distinguish whether the chicken carcasses on the hook are qualified and to mark them on the hook. The identification device is located at the rear end of the logistics line in the transmission direction and at the front end of the aforementioned broiler processing and feeding device. The identification device is used to identify the marks on the hook. The identification device and the grading device communicate with the control cabinet respectively.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] The broiler processing feeding device and production line provided by this utility model can identify and mark qualified and unqualified chicken carcasses through the set identification and grading equipment. The feeding device allows unqualified chicken carcasses to be fed through the feeding device, while qualified chicken carcasses can enter the subsequent processes through the feeding channel.

[0021] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a broiler processing unloading device for unloading chicken carcasses suspended by hooks 5 on the logistics line 4. It includes a support frame 3, one end of which is provided with a first mounting seat 6. The support frame 3 is provided with an unloading rack 9 for the chicken carcasses to slide off the hooks 5. The top of the unloading rack 9 is inclined, so that the top height of the unloading rack 9 gradually increases along the conveying direction of the logistics line 4, and the top of the unloading rack 9 is bent towards the first mounting seat 6 to support the chicken carcasses. When the hooks 5 are conveyed along the direction of the logistics line 4, the chicken carcasses come into contact with the unloading rack 9 and are gradually lifted by the unloading rack 9, so that the chicken carcasses are detached from the hooks 5. A material inlet channel for the chicken carcasses to pass through is formed between the first mounting seat 6 and the unloading rack 9.

[0023] A first rotating shaft 12 and a second rotating shaft 13 are provided on the first mounting base 6. The first rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to a second mounting base 17. A pneumatic actuator 7 is provided on the second mounting base 17, with the pneumatic actuator 7 positioned on the side of the second mounting base 17. The pneumatic actuator 7 rotates around the axis of the first rotating shaft 12 via the second mounting base 17. The output end of the pneumatic actuator 7 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 8. The middle part of the connecting rod 8 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 13, allowing the connecting rod 8 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 13. (In a specific embodiment, the connecting rod 8 is a single piece of rod bent into a Z-shape, dividing it into an integrally connected push rod 81, a connecting rod 82, and a swing rod 83. The push rod 81 and the swing rod 83 are connected via the connecting rod 82. The push rod 81 is used to rotatably connect to the output end of the pneumatic actuator 7, and the swing rod 83 is used to push the chicken carcass onto the unloading rack 9. The push rod 81 and the connecting rod 82...) The connection of 2 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 13. The first mounting base 6 is also provided with a limiting stop 14 to limit the counterclockwise swing range of the connecting rod 8, so that the connecting rod 8 cannot continue to rotate when it rotates to the first working position. When the connecting rod 8 is in the first working position, the feeding channel is closed, and the chicken carcass is lifted by the connecting rod 8 onto the unloading rack 9. The support frame 3 is also provided with a baffle 15 to limit the clockwise swing range of the connecting rod 8, so that the connecting rod 8 cannot continue to rotate when it rotates to the second working position. The feeding channel is opened, and the chicken carcass enters the next process through the feeding channel. The first mounting base 6 is provided with a control cabinet 1, and the pneumatic actuator 7 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 1 (the control cabinet 1 controls the airflow in the pneumatic actuator 7 according to the received marking signal, and drives the output end of the pneumatic actuator 7 to realize reciprocating extension and retraction motion. The pneumatic actuator 7 has various embodiments in the prior art. The specific structure of the pneumatic actuator 7 is not described here).

[0024] Specifically, when the connecting rod 8 is in the first working position, the feeding channel is closed, allowing the chicken carcass to be guided by the connecting rod 8 to the unloading rack 9. The chicken carcass is gradually lifted to a predetermined height along with the unloading rack 9. As the lifting process is completed, the chicken carcass is finally released from the hook 5 under the action of gravity. The control cabinet 1 controls the pneumatic actuator 7 to operate, pushing the connecting rod 8 to move, so that the connecting rod 8 is in the second working position, and the chicken carcass enters the subsequent process through the feeding channel.

[0025] To reduce the damage to both the connecting rod 8 and the chicken carcass caused by direct contact, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, a push plate 10 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 8 away from the pneumatic actuator 7 to prevent direct contact between the connecting rod 8 and the chicken carcass and to increase the contact area with the chicken carcass to prevent damage to the chicken carcass; to prevent the connecting rod 8 from directly hitting the baffle 15 and to reduce the buffering force between the baffle 15 and the connecting rod 8, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, a hydraulic buffer 11 is provided on the baffle 15 (the hydraulic buffer 11 is used to effectively buffer impact loads and ensure the smoothness and stability of the system operation. The hydraulic buffer 11 has various embodiments in the prior art, and the specific structure of the hydraulic buffer 11 will not be described in detail here).

[0026] In order to reduce damage to chicken carcasses during feeding, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sliding track 16 is inclinedly provided on the support frame 3, and the sliding track 16 is located below the feeding channel.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a broiler processing and feeding assembly line, including the aforementioned broiler processing and feeding device and a hanging frame 2. The hanging frame 2 includes a vertical support column 201 and a horizontal hanging rod 202. The hanging rod 202 is located above the logistics line 4. The support column 201 is used to support the hanging rod 202. The support column 201 is fixedly connected to the hanging rod 202. The logistics line 4, which is located above the aforementioned broiler processing and feeding device, is provided on the hanging rod 202. Multiple hooks 5 are provided at equal intervals along the length of the logistics line 4. The hooks 5 are used to hang the chicken carcass upside down by its feet, so that the chicken carcass moves along the logistics line 4.

[0028] The hanging rod 202 is also equipped with an identification device 18 and a grading device 19. The grading device 19 is located at the front end of the conveying direction of the logistics line 4 and is used to distinguish whether the chicken carcasses on the hook 5 are qualified and to mark them. The identification device 18 is located at the rear end of the conveying direction of the logistics line 4 and at the front end of the aforementioned broiler processing and feeding device. The identification device 18 is used to identify the marks on the hook 5. The identification device 18 and the grading device 19 communicate with the control cabinet 1 respectively. (The grading device 19 includes a marking device and a chicken carcass scanner. After scanning the chicken carcasses on the hook 5, the chicken carcass scanner distinguishes the chicken carcasses.) To distinguish between qualified and unqualified chicken carcasses, a marking device marks the hook 5. The grading device 19 transmits the marked data to the feeding device. The identification device 18 includes a photoelectric beam sensor, which scans the mark on the hook 5 and transmits the scanned data to the control cabinet 1. The control cabinet 1 identifies whether the chicken carcasses entering the feeding device are qualified based on the data transmitted from the identification device 18 and the grading device 19. The identification device 18 and the grading device 19 have various embodiments in the prior art, and their specific structures are not described in detail here.

[0029] Specifically, when logistics line 4 is in operation, and a defective chicken carcass passes by, control cabinet 1 controls the pneumatic actuator 7 to move the connecting rod 8, placing the connecting rod 8 in the first working position. The material inlet channel is closed, allowing the defective chicken carcass to be guided by the connecting rod 8 to the unloading rack 9. The defective chicken carcass is gradually lifted to a predetermined height along with the unloading rack 9. As the lifting process is completed, the chicken carcass is finally released from the hook 5 under the action of gravity. When a normal chicken or an empty hook 5 passes by, control cabinet 1 controls the pneumatic actuator 7 to move the connecting rod 8, placing the connecting rod 8 in the second working position. The material inlet channel is opened, and the normal chicken or an empty hook 5 enters the subsequent process through the material inlet channel.

[0030] The broiler processing feeding device and production line, through the identification device 18 and the grading device 19, can identify and mark qualified and unqualified chicken carcasses. The feeding device allows unqualified chicken carcasses to be fed through the feeding device, while qualified chicken carcasses can enter the subsequent processes through the feeding channel.

[0031] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
