Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slaughtering equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-purpose conveying device for slaughtering production lines. Background Technology

[0002] On the slaughtering production line, pig carcasses are mainly transported by lifting conveyors or horizontal conveyors. The power unit of the lifting conveyor is installed horizontally, and the conveyor chain rotates in the vertical direction to achieve the lifting operation. The power unit of the horizontal conveyor is installed vertically, and the conveyor chain is divided into single hinge and double hinge. The single hinge only supports horizontal movement, while the double hinge only supports horizontal movement and climbing.

[0003] Due to different actual transport requirements, the conveyor chain and track section in the hoisting conveyor cannot be directly applied to the horizontal conveyor. This means that both types of conveyors need to be stored simultaneously during actual use, resulting in a large number of spare parts and high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a multi-purpose conveying device for a slaughtering production line, which is compatible with both lifting conveyors and horizontal conveyors, thereby simultaneously realizing lifting and horizontal conveying operations, effectively saving inventory and reducing maintenance costs.

[0005] This application provides a multi-purpose conveying device for a slaughtering production line, including a conveying track. The conveying track has an upper track and a lower track arranged in parallel. A conveying chain is provided inside the conveying track. The conveying chain is distributed in a closed loop within the upper track and the lower track. Both ends of the conveying track are provided with a driving sprocket and a driven sprocket for driving the conveying chain to rotate in a directional manner. Both the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are horizontal sprockets. The conveying track includes a straight conveying section and a curved conveying section connected between the straight conveying sections. The curved conveying section includes a longitudinal curved section and a transverse curved section. The longitudinal curved section extends in an arc shape in the vertical direction, and the transverse curved section extends in an arc shape in the horizontal direction.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the conveying track consists of a connecting seat and four U-shaped channel steels connected to the connecting seat and symmetrically distributed vertically. The openings of the four U-shaped channel steels are distributed opposite each other in pairs. The upper track is formed by the two upper U-shaped channel steels, and the lower track is formed by the two lower U-shaped channel steels. A gap is provided between the two upper U-shaped channel steels and the two lower U-shaped channel steels.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the conveying track is further provided with a geared motor for driving the active sprocket to rotate actively.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the driving diameter of both the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket is greater than the distance between the upper and lower tracks, and the linear conveying section extends to the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket respectively through an arc-shaped transition section.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the longitudinal curved rail segment includes a first vertical curved rail segment and a second vertical curved rail segment that extend symmetrically in an arc in the vertical direction.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the transverse curved track segment includes a first transverse curved track segment and a second transverse curved track segment that are symmetrically distributed in an arc shape along a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the predetermined angle is 90°, and the conveying track is provided with corner wheels on the inner ring of the first and second transverse curved sections to drive the conveying chain to rotate in an directional manner.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the conveyor chain includes conveyor chain sections and rollers symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor chain sections, wherein the conveyor chain sections mesh with the corner wheels, and wherein the rollers cooperate with the grooves on the outer surfaces of the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket.

[0013] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the multi-purpose conveying device for slaughtering production lines provided in this application sets the conveying track into a straight conveying section and a curved conveying section. The curved conveying section includes a longitudinal curved section and a transverse curved section, which enables the multi-purpose conveying device for slaughtering production lines provided in this application to be used as both a lifting conveyor and a horizontal conveyor. This allows for simultaneous lifting and horizontal conveying operations. It can be flexibly configured according to usage requirements and can meet various conveying requirements such as lifting, horizontal conveying, and climbing of pig carcasses and pig carcasses. It is easy to use, and can also reduce the types of spare parts, save on inventory, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0022] 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.

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 8This application provides a multi-purpose conveying device for a slaughtering production line, including a conveying track 10. The conveying track 10 has an upper track 11 and a lower track 12 arranged vertically side-by-side. A conveying chain 40 is provided within the conveying track 10, wherein the conveying chain 40 is distributed in a closed loop within the upper track 11 and the lower track 12. At both ends of the conveying track 10 are a driving sprocket 20 and a driven sprocket 30 for driving the conveying chain 40 to rotate in a directional direction. Both the driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30 are horizontal sprockets, meaning their sprocket shafts extend horizontally. The driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30 drive the conveying chain 40 to rotate in a vertical plane within the upper track 11 and the lower track 12. Furthermore, the conveying track 10 includes a straight conveying section 101 and a curved conveying section 102 connecting the straight conveying sections 101. The curved conveying section 102 includes a longitudinal curved section 1021 and a transverse curved section 1022. The longitudinal curved section 1021 is located in a vertical... The longitudinal curved section 1021 extends in an arc shape in the vertical direction, while the transverse curved section 1022 extends in an arc shape in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the multi-purpose conveying device for slaughtering production lines provided in this application can be used as a lifting conveyor, achieving lifting and conveying operations through the longitudinal curved section 1021, and also as a horizontal conveyor, achieving horizontal conveying operations through the transverse curved section 1022. When the curvature of the longitudinal curved section 1021 is small, it can also be used as a slope conveyor. However, when the curvature of the longitudinal curved section 1022 is large, there is a significant longitudinal drop, allowing it to be used as a lifting conveyor. In this way, the multi-purpose conveying device for slaughtering production lines provided in this application can flexibly set various conveying modes such as slope, lifting, and horizontal curved conveying according to usage requirements, thereby meeting the conveying needs of various purposes such as pig carcasses and initial meat pieces. It is convenient to use, reduces the types of spare parts, saves on inventory, and lowers maintenance costs.

[0026] In one embodiment, the conveying track 10 consists of a connecting seat 110 and four U-shaped channel steels 120 connected to the connecting seat 110 and symmetrically distributed vertically. The openings of the four U-shaped channel steels 120 are distributed opposite each other in pairs. The upper track 11 is formed by the two upper U-shaped channel steels 120, and the lower track 12 is formed by the two lower U-shaped channel steels 120. At the same time, there is a gap between the two upper U-shaped channel steels 120 and the two lower U-shaped channel steels 120. This gap can be used as a clearance gap for the hooks or levers 43 connected to the conveying chain 40 to pass through. Thus, this combination can not only meet the setting requirements of the conveying track 10, but also has low raw material costs, is easy to mass-produce and manufacture, and is convenient for later maintenance.

[0027] In one embodiment, the conveying track 10 is further provided with a reduction motor 21 for driving the active sprocket 20 to rotate actively.

[0028] In one embodiment, the driving diameter of both the driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30 is greater than the distance between the upper track 11 and the lower track 12. Simultaneously, the linear conveying section 101 extends to both the driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30 via an arc-shaped transition section 103. This provides a larger rotational driving space for the driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30, generating stronger driving force through the larger sprockets. It also improves the chain matching of the conveyor chain 40, resulting in better rolling transmission. The diameters of the driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30 may or may not be the same; no limitation is made here.

[0029] In one embodiment, combined Figure 4 The longitudinal curved rail section 1021 includes a first vertical curved rail section 10211 and a second vertical curved rail section 10212 that extend symmetrically in an arc in the vertical direction. The curvature can be flexibly set according to actual needs. For example, when the curvature is small, such as when the corresponding central angle is greater than 10° and less than 30°, it is close to a straight line extension and can be used as a horizontal incline machine for lifting (e.g., Figure 1 The conveyor track 10 has a relatively small overall vertical lifting height. For example, when the curvature is large, such as when the corresponding rounded angle is greater than 30° and less than 55°, it has a significant curvature angle and can be used as a hoist. The conveyor track 10 has a relatively large overall vertical lifting height (e.g. Figure 4 ).

[0030] It should be noted that the range of the central angles mentioned above is merely an illustrative example, and those skilled in the art should understand that this range is not a limitation on the technical solution of this application.

[0031] In one embodiment, combined Figure 3 The transverse curved rail section 1022 includes a first transverse curved rail section 10221 and a second transverse curved rail section 10222 that are curved in a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction and are symmetrically distributed in an arc, thereby enabling curved conveying in the horizontal direction.

[0032] More preferably, the predetermined angle is 90°, and the conveying track 10 is provided with corner wheels 104 on the inner ring of the first transverse curved track section 10221 and the second transverse curved track section 10222, so as to drive the conveying chain 40 to rotate in a direction (passively rotate) and form support for the conveying chain 40. The corner wheel 104 includes an independently operating upper half and a lower half. The upper half provides guidance and support for the conveying chain 40 in the upper track 11, and the lower half provides guidance and support for the conveying chain 40 in the lower track 12.

[0033] In one embodiment, the conveyor chain 40 includes a conveyor chain link 41 and rollers 42 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor chain link 41, wherein the conveyor chain link 41 meshes with the corner wheel 104, and wherein the rollers 42 cooperate with the grooves 201 on the outer surfaces of the driving sprocket 20 and the driven sprocket 30.

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