Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic poultry gutting and rinsing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, poultry products have always held an important position due to their rich nutritional value and broad market demand. With the continuous increase in consumer demand for poultry products, poultry processing enterprises face ever-growing demands for production efficiency. At the same time, food processing safety, as a core issue related to consumer health, has also received high attention from all sectors of society. Among these processes, poultry evisceration and cleaning are key steps in poultry product processing. The efficiency and quality of this process directly determine the speed of subsequent processing steps and the final safety and quality of poultry products, thus becoming a crucial breakthrough for poultry processing enterprises to enhance their core competitiveness.

[0003] Currently, most small and medium-sized poultry processing enterprises in China still rely on traditional manual operation methods for evisceration and cleaning. Specifically, workers manually fix the poultry to be processed on a workbench, use knives to eviscerate them, and then rinse with water or use specialized tools to clean the internal organs, blood, and impurities from the poultry's abdominal cavity. This manual operation method has significant limitations: firstly, the speed of manual operation is greatly affected by factors such as the worker's physical strength, skill level, and fatigue, making it difficult to maintain a stable and efficient work rhythm. This results in poor continuity of the entire processing line, often requiring pauses and waiting during evisceration and cleaning, severely restricting the improvement of overall production efficiency and failing to meet the needs of large-scale batch production. Secondly, direct manual contact with poultry materials significantly increases the risk of cross-contamination by microorganisms—bacteria on workers' hands, contaminants on their clothing, and repeated use and untimely cleaning of tools during operation can all lead to contamination of poultry products, posing a serious threat to food processing safety.

[0004] Even though some large poultry processing enterprises have introduced mechanized equipment to replace manual operations, existing equipment still has many shortcomings in practical applications. Current mechanized equipment typically separates the cutting and cleaning operations into two independent process modules, and there is a lack of efficient material transport and connection mechanisms between the two modules. After the poultry is cut, it needs to be transferred to the cleaning module manually or using complex conveyor systems. This process not only adds extra steps and time costs but also further increases the possibility of external contamination of the poultry products during transfer. Furthermore, some existing equipment has a low level of automation, still requiring operators to perform considerable auxiliary operations during the cutting or cleaning stages, such as manually adjusting the position of the poultry and cleaning residual impurities from the equipment. This not only fails to fundamentally reduce human intervention but may also affect the stability of operations and the consistency of product quality due to the uncertainty of human operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an automatic poultry evisceration and rinsing device. Through a evisceration module and a rinsing module, evisceration and rinsing operations can be completed during material conveying. Operators only need to load the material at the front end, which enhances the continuity of operations, reduces human intervention during operations, and improves the safety of food processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model embodiment adopts the following technical solution: an automatic poultry evisceration and rinsing device, comprising a frame, on which a evisceration module and a rinsing module are provided. The evisceration module includes a conveyor chain, with a evisceration blade above the conveyor chain and pressure rods on both sides of the evisceration blade. The rinsing module includes a support body connected to the conveyor chain, with transmission chains on both sides of the support body and pressure rods on the top of the transmission chains. A rinsing pipe is provided above the support body.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] A drive shaft is provided in the middle of the slitting blade. One end of the drive shaft is provided with a drive source, and the other end is provided with a bearing seat connected to the frame.

[0009] The distance between the two pressure bars gradually decreases along the material conveying direction.

[0010] The front end of the pressure rod is provided with a guide rod, which is arc-shaped, and the distance between the two guide rods gradually decreases along the material conveying direction.

[0011] A support plate is provided between the inner side of the frame and the conveyor chain.

[0012] The support body includes two support rods distributed along the length of the frame, with a positioning gap reserved between the two support rods.

[0013] A pressure rod three is provided between the support rod and the transmission chain, and the height of the pressure rod three is less than the height of the transmission chain.

[0014] Each of the pressure rods (first, second, and third) is provided with a mounting plate, and an adjusting screw is provided on the mounting plate.

[0015] The number of flushing pipes is two and they are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the support. The frame is equipped with clamps for installing the flushing pipes.

[0016] The outer walls of the conveyor chain and the transmission chain are each provided with multiple baffles distributed along the length of the frame, and a reserved gap is provided between two adjacent baffles.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: the poultry automatic evisceration and rinsing device can complete the evisceration and rinsing operations during the material conveying process through the evisceration module and the rinsing module. The operator only needs to feed the material at the front end, which can enhance the continuity of the operation, reduce human intervention in the operation process, and improve the safety of food processing.

[0018] A pressure bar is provided on both sides of the cutting blade, and the distance between the two pressure bars gradually decreases along the material conveying direction, forming a gradual clamping structure to improve the positioning effect of the material. At the same time, when the material passes through the cutting blade, the pressure bars can be used to tension the material surface on both sides of the cutting position to ensure that the cutting operation is carried out smoothly and that the cutting blade edge is smooth.

[0019] A pressure bar two is installed above the transmission chain, and a pressure bar three is installed between the support rod and the transmission chain. The height of the pressure bar three is less than the height of the transmission chain. The height difference creates a downward pressing force to ensure the stability of the material during conveying. At the same time, when the material is washed, it forms a shape that is high in the middle and low on both sides, which facilitates the cleaning and outflow of washing water and internal organs.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses an automatic poultry evisceration and rinsing device, including a frame 1. A evisceration module and a rinsing module are installed on the frame 1. The evisceration module is mainly responsible for the evisceration of poultry and includes a conveyor chain 2 for material conveying. To ensure conveying stability, a support plate 13 is provided between the inner side of the frame 1 and the conveyor chain 2 to support the suspended parts on both sides of the material. A evisceration blade 3 for evisceration is provided above the conveyor chain 2. A drive shaft 9 is provided through the middle of the evisceration blade 3. One end of the shaft is connected to a drive source 10 that provides power, and the other end is fixedly connected to the frame 1 through a bearing seat 11 to form a stable rotation support structure to ensure that the evisceration blade 3 can operate stably.

[0026] To prevent material from shifting during the cutting process, pressure rods 4 are provided on both sides of the cutting blade 3, and the distance between the two pressure rods 4 gradually decreases along the material conveying direction, forming a gradual clamping structure to improve the positioning effect of the material. At the same time, when the material passes through the cutting blade 3, the pressure rods 4 can be used to tension the material surface on both sides of the cutting position to ensure that the cutting operation is carried out smoothly and that the cutting edge is smooth. An arc-shaped guide rod 12 is also provided at the front end of the pressure rod 4, and the distance between the two guide rods 12 also gradually decreases along the material conveying direction. Through the combination of the arc structure and the gradual spacing, the material is guided to enter the cutting area smoothly, further optimizing the feeding stability.

[0027] The cleaning module is connected to the cutting module, with the support body 5 as the core support structure. The support body 5 is directly connected to the conveyor chain 2 of the cutting module to ensure that the material can be smoothly transferred from the cutting module to the cleaning module.

[0028] The support body 5 consists of two support rods 14 that are parallel to each other along the length of the frame 1. A positioning gap is reserved between the two support rods 14 for initial positioning of the material. On both sides of the support body 5, there are transmission chains 6 for auxiliary material conveying. To prevent the material from shifting during the conveying process, a pressure bar 7 is also set above the transmission chain 6. A pressure bar 15 is set between the support rods 14 and the transmission chain 6. The height of the pressure bar 15 is less than the height of the transmission chain 6. The height difference creates a downward pressing force to ensure the stability of the material conveying. At the same time, when the material is washed, it forms a shape that is high in the middle and low on both sides, which facilitates the cleaning and outflow of washing water and internal organs.

[0029] The core rinsing component of the cleaning module is the rinsing pipe 8, of which there are two, and they are symmetrically distributed with the center line of the support body 5 as the axis. The symmetrical layout ensures that both sides of the material can be rinsed evenly, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0030] Install clamps 18 on the frame 1 to securely fix the flushing pipe 8 and prevent the pipe from shifting due to water pressure during the flushing process.

[0031] To facilitate the adjustment of the height of the positioning components according to different material specifications, mounting plates 16 are respectively provided above the pressure rod 4, pressure rod 7, and pressure rod 15. Each mounting plate 16 is provided with an adjusting screw 17. The height of the adjusting screw 17 is adjusted by the cooperation of the locking nut and the tightening nut, thereby completing the height adjustment of the pressure rod 4, pressure rod 7, and pressure rod 15, realizing flexible adjustment of the positioning height to meet the processing needs of poultry of different sizes.

[0032] On the outer walls of both the conveyor chain 2 and the drive chain 6, multiple baffles 19 are spaced apart along the length of the frame 1, with a reserved gap 20 between adjacent baffles 19. The baffles 19 can separate the materials to prevent adjacent materials from squeezing or colliding with each other during the conveying process. The reserved gap 20 can fix the wings and legs of the materials, especially when cutting quails, to ensure the stability of the transport.
