Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an automatic broiler sorting device for broiler slaughterhouses. Background Technology

[0002] After slaughter, broiler chickens are usually sorted and screened according to their weight to facilitate storage, sales and transportation, in order to meet the different needs of different customers. Chinese utility model patent application number 202221197851.6 discloses an intelligent automatic weighing and sorting device for broilers. This device, "after the electronic scale finishes weighing the broilers, as the rotating plate rotates, when the broiler rotates to the corresponding sorting box position, the controller controls the extension of multi-stage electric push rods, driving the push plate to move and push the broiler into the corresponding sorting box, thus achieving continuous weighing and sorting of broilers. It is not only highly automated but also simple in structure and low in cost, effectively saving costs." However, in actual use, cleaning is not convenient: it uses a transmission belt as the conveyor mechanism, and after prolonged use, the inner wall of the transmission belt easily accumulates dirt and grime, making cleaning difficult, and the large area of ​​the outer wall makes cleaning time-consuming and labor-intensive; while the baffles and partitions help ensure the stability of the broiler's position and prevent it from falling and mixing, the number and area of ​​contact with the broiler also increase accordingly, thus increasing the amount of labor required for cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This highlights the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1-6As shown, an automatic broiler sorting device for a broiler slaughterhouse includes an electric conveying mechanism 1, a base 2, a support plate 3, weighing devices 4, trays 5, support cylinders 6, main electric push rods 7, push seats 8, protrusions 9, a collection bucket 10, a main servo motor 11, and a conductive slip ring 12. The support plate 3 is coaxially rotatably connected to the upper part of the base 2. Multiple vertical weighing devices 4 are fixed at equal angles around the top circumference of the support plate 3. Each weighing device 4 is equipped with a tray 5 for load-bearing. The device is characterized by a concave center of each tray 5, a vertical support cylinder 6 fixed at the top center of the support plate 3, and multiple horizontal main electric push rods 7 fixed at equal angles around the circumference of the support cylinder 6. Each main electric push rod 7 corresponds radially to each tray 5 in a top view projection. Each push rod 7 has a push seat 8 fixed to its end. The bottom of the push seat 8 has an outwardly downward inclined... The protrusion 9, each of the push seats 8 can be positioned above the tray 5 when it moves horizontally following the extension and retraction of the main electric push rod 7. Multiple detachable and vertical collection buckets 10 are installed at equal angles around the circumference of the base 2. Each collection bucket 10 is radially corresponding to the tray 5 in the top view projection. A vertical main servo motor 11 is fixed on the upper part of the base 2. The rotating shaft of the main servo motor 11 is coaxially fixed with the support plate 3. A conductive slip ring 12 is installed on the upper part of the base 2. The rotor of the conductive slip ring 12 is fixed to the support plate 3. The stator of the conductive slip ring 12 is fixed to the base 2. The electric conveying mechanism 1, the weighing device 4, the stator of the conductive slip ring 12 and the main servo motor 11 are electrically connected to the controller. The rotor of the conductive slip ring 12 is electrically connected to each main electric push rod 7. The controller is a known prior art, such as an industrial control computer.

[0019] In use, the controller controls the electric conveyor mechanism 1 to intermittently convey the broilers backward. When the broilers fall into the tray 5, they are weighed by the weighing device 4. Then, the main servo motor 11 rotates, driving the support plate 3 to rotate intermittently at equal angles, so that the next empty tray 5 can receive the falling broilers. The tray 5 passes over each collection bin 10 one by one. When the weighed broilers move to the top of the corresponding collection bin 10, the controller controls the main electric push rod 7 to extend and retract, thereby using the push seat 8 and the protrusion 9 to push the broilers from the tray 5 into the collection bin 10, realizing automatic sorting. Due to the concave structure of the tray 5, it can well support the broilers and limit their position to prevent accidental detachment. At the same time, it reduces contact with other parts, making cleaning more time-saving, labor-saving and convenient. The special structure of the protrusion 9 makes it easy for the broilers to fall out of the tray 5 when pushing them.

[0020] The upper opening of the collection bucket 10 is flared, and a handle 13 is fixed on the outer wall. The protrusion 9 has a guide groove 14 running through it from top to bottom. The guide groove 14 is larger near the outer periphery of the support plate 3 and smaller near the axis of the support plate 3. Multiple vertical mounting cylinders 15 are fixed at equal angles around the circumference of the base 2. The mounting cylinders 15 are interlocked with the collection bucket 10.

[0021] Furthermore, the position of the collection bucket 10 can be restricted by the installation cylinder 15, the collection bucket 10 can be easily moved by the handle 13, and the guide groove 14 can prevent the protrusion 9 from shifting when pushing the broiler and causing the broiler to fall off accidentally.

[0022] The electric conveying mechanism 1 includes a front support 16, a middle support 17, a rear support 18, an upper transmission component, a lower transmission component, a slot 21, a support slot 22, a support roller 23, and an electric rotary drive mechanism. The front support 16 and the rear support 18 are located on the front and rear sides of the middle support 17, respectively. There is at least one middle support 17. The front support 16 and the rear support 18 are rotatably connected to two upper transmission components and two lower transmission components. The upper and lower transmission components are arranged horizontally in a front-rear direction. The two upper transmission components are located diagonally above and outward of the two lower transmission components. The upper and lower transmission components each include a support shaft 30, a roller 31, and a guide strip 32. The roller 31 is coaxially fixed to the outside of the support shaft 30 and is rotatably connected to the front support 16 and the rear support 18. A spiral guide strip 32 is fixed to the outer circumferential wall of the cylinder 31. The middle support seat 17 and the rear support seat 18 are provided with through slots 21. The slots 21 correspond to the gaps between the two upper transmission components and the two lower transmission components. The middle support seat 17 has multiple support slots 22 through its left and right sides. Multiple horizontal support rollers 23 are rotatably connected to the inner circumference of the support slots 22. The support rollers 23 are arranged in the front and rear horizontal direction and roll and rub against the outer circumferential wall of the support shaft 30. The front support seat 16 is equipped with an electric rotary drive mechanism. The electric rotary drive mechanism is used to drive each support shaft 30 to rotate and is electrically connected to the controller. The rear end of the rear support seat 18 is fixed with a hopper 33. The hopper 33 is inclined to the rear and downward and is located directly above the tray 5 at the frontmost side of the support plate 3.

[0023] Furthermore, by controlling the electric rotary drive mechanism to rotate, the upper and lower transmission components rotate at the same speed, ensuring that the guide bars 32 on the left and right sides of the front support 16 rotate in opposite directions. Then, the broiler is placed in the gap between the upper and lower transmission components, so that when the guide bars 32 rotate with the roller 31 and the support shaft 30, they can transport the broiler backward and upward. This allows the broiler to move stably from front to back through each slot 21 towards the tray 5. Since only the roller 31 and the guide bars 32 are in contact with the broiler, the cleaning area and dead corners are smaller, making it less likely for dirt to accumulate. Cleaning is time-saving, labor-saving, and more convenient.

[0024] The electric rotary drive mechanism includes a secondary servo motor 25. Multiple secondary servo motors 25 are fixed at the front end of the front support 16 along the front-rear horizontal direction. The rotating shaft of each secondary servo motor 25 is coaxially fixed with each support shaft 30. Each secondary servo motor 25 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0025] Furthermore, by controlling the rotation of the auxiliary servo motor 25, the support shafts 30, rollers 31, and guide bars 32 can be driven to rotate, ensuring that the guide bars 32 on the left and right sides of the front support seat 16 rotate in opposite directions, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown.

[0026] A support frame 26 is fixed between the middle support base 17 and the rear support base 18. A vertical auxiliary electric push rod 27 is fixed at the bottom of the support frame 26. A vertical top plate 28 is fixed at the top of the push rod of the auxiliary electric push rod 27. The top plate 28 is convex at the top, which is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, and is inserted into the gap between the two lower transmission components. An identification camera 29 is fixed on the upper part of the support frame 26. The identification camera 29 is used to take downward pictures to identify broiler chickens and corresponds vertically to the top plate 28. The auxiliary electric push rod 27 and the identification camera 29 are electrically connected to the controller.

[0027] Furthermore, by controlling the identification camera 29 to identify the position and spacing of the broilers, when two or more broilers are found to be close together and move above the top plate 28, the auxiliary electric push rod 27 is extended and retracted, and the top plate 28 can be inserted between the broilers to separate the close-to-close broilers, so that they can be intermittently dropped into the tray 5 later.

[0028] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, based on the teachings of the present utility model, still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
