Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic pre-treatment equipment for quail processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, quail meat, due to its nutritional advantages such as being rich in protein and low in fat, has seen a continuous increase in market demand, driving the quail processing industry towards large-scale and automated development. Among these processes, the gutting of quail is a crucial step in the deep processing of quail, directly impacting subsequent products.

[0003] Currently, most quail processing enterprises in China have the following significant problems in the gutting process:

[0004] Low processing efficiency: Manual cutting operations are affected by the physical strength, operating speed and fatigue of the operators. The hourly processing capacity of a single production line can usually only reach a few hundred pieces, which is difficult to meet the "continuous and efficient" processing requirements of large-scale production. Especially during the peak season, capacity bottlenecks are likely to occur, resulting in order delivery delays.

[0005] The work is labor-intensive and unsafe: operators need to repeat the same cutting action for a long time, which can easily cause occupational health problems such as hand muscle strain and joint damage. At the same time, if the cutting tool is not operated properly, it can easily cause hand cuts and other safety accidents, increasing the employment risk and management cost of enterprises.

[0006] Poor consistency in cutting: Manual operation makes it difficult to ensure that the cutting position and depth of each quail are completely uniform, which can easily lead to problems such as incomplete cutting (such as internal organs remaining) and meat damage. This results in inconsistent product quality, reduces the pass rate of subsequent deep-processed products, and affects the company's brand image.

[0007] To address the shortcomings of manual processing, some companies have attempted to introduce semi-automatic processing equipment to assist in the cutting operation. However, existing equipment still has significant limitations: such equipment typically requires operators to manually complete multiple auxiliary operations such as loading, positioning, and unloading, making it impossible to achieve a fully automated process of "continuous cutting after loading," and still requiring a significant investment in manpower. Furthermore, the coordination between the conveying mechanism and the cutting mechanism of most equipment is poor, which can easily lead to problems such as the material shifting or getting stuck during the conveying process, causing the cutting operation to be interrupted and further restricting the improvement of processing efficiency.

[0008] It is worth noting that in the field of poultry processing equipment, there are already automated devices for poultry head cutting (such as the "Poultry Head Cutting Device" with patent number CN212678229U). This device supports a conveyor chain with a frame, uses a poultry head clamping lever on the conveyor chain to clamp the poultry's neck, and completes the automatic cutting of the poultry head with a cutting blade driven by a cutting motor. At the same time, the inclined support adjusts the tilt angle of the conveyor chain, and the guide rod presses and positions the poultry, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual head cutting of poultry such as chickens and ducks. However, this equipment is only designed for cutting a single part of the poultry head. The V-shaped opening and protruding tooth structure of its clamping lever are only suitable for clamping and separating the skin and meat of poultry necks, and cannot meet the needs of whole quail dissection (which involves processing multiple parts such as the trunk and internal organs). Moreover, its cutting components can only realize the function of cutting poultry heads, and lack a dissection mechanism adapted to the small size and delicate structure of quail. It cannot complete the dissection operation required for deep processing of quail, so it cannot be directly applied to the quail processing process. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an automatic pre-processing device that can perform quail cutting during the conveying process. Only the initial loading and installation are required to complete the continuous cutting operation, significantly improving product processing efficiency.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model embodiment adopts the following technical solution: an automatic quail processing pretreatment device, including a frame, a conveyor chain above the frame, a cutting module above the conveyor chain, a receiving bin at the bottom of the frame, the cutting module including a drive shaft, a cutting disc on the drive shaft, a drive source at one end of the drive shaft, a bearing seat at the other end, and guide components on both sides of the cutting disc.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0012] The guide assembly includes a pressure rod, and a mounting plate is provided above the frame. An adjusting screw connected to the pressure rod is provided on the mounting plate.

[0013] The adjusting screw is equipped with a locking nut located above the mounting plate and a tightening nut located below the mounting plate.

[0014] The mounting plate is provided with a through groove for adjusting the screw to move laterally.

[0015] Each of the pressure bars is provided with a guide rod at its front end. The guide rod is arc-shaped, and the distance between the two guide rods gradually decreases along the material conveying direction.

[0016] The front end of the pressure bar is connected to the guide bar, and the ends are located on both sides of the cutting disc. The distance between the two pressure bars gradually decreases along the material conveying direction.

[0017] The conveyor chain is located on the center line of the frame, and baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor chain.

[0018] There are multiple baffles, and a space is reserved between two adjacent baffles for placing items.

[0019] A support plate is provided between the frame and the baffle.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: The automatic processing pretreatment equipment includes a frame, a conveyor chain is arranged above the frame, a cutting module is arranged above the conveyor chain, the cutting module includes a drive shaft, a cutting disc is arranged on the drive shaft, a drive source is arranged at one end of the drive shaft, and a bearing seat is arranged at the other end. The conveyor chain is used to fix and transport the material, and the material is cut during the transport process. This can complete the continuous cutting of the material, improve the work efficiency, and at the same time, reduce human intervention and increase food safety.

[0021] The cutting disc is equipped with guide components on both sides. The guide components can compress and guide the material during the material conveying process, so that the cutting position is tensioned when the material passes through the cutting disc, which facilitates cutting and ensures that the cut edge remains flat after cutting.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figure 1-3As shown, the automatic quail processing pretreatment equipment of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a conveyor chain 2 is horizontally mounted above the frame 1 for conveying quail to be processed; a cutting module is set directly above the conveyor chain 2 to cut the material; and a receiving bin 3 is installed in the lower space of the frame 1 for collecting the cut material.

[0028] The conveyor chain 2 is laid along the center line of the frame 1. Baffles 16 are provided on both sides of the conveyor chain 2. There are multiple baffles 16, and a placement gap 17 is reserved between two adjacent baffles 16 for placing a single quail (the wings and legs are placed in the placement gap 17). To prevent the material from shifting or falling during the conveying process, a support plate 18 is also installed between the frame 1 and the baffles 16 to further support the material and the baffle structure.

[0029] The slitting module consists of a drive shaft 4, a cutting disc 5, a drive source 6, a bearing seat 7, and a guide assembly. The drive shaft 4 is arranged laterally, with the drive source 6 (providing power) mounted at one end and the other end installed in the bearing seat 7 (ensuring rotational stability). The cutting disc 5 is fixedly installed in the middle area of ​​the drive shaft 4 to slitting the quail. To ensure that the material is accurately aligned with the cutting disc 5 before slitting, guide assemblies are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cutting disc 5. The guide assembly includes a pressure rod 8 and an arc-shaped guide rod 14. The guide rod 14 is connected to the front end of the pressure rod 8, and the end of the pressure rod 8 extends to both sides of the cutting disc 5. From the material conveying direction, the distance between the two guide rods 14 gradually decreases, forming a "narrowing" structure. The distance between the two pressure rods 8 also gradually decreases, forming a "narrowing" structure. This guides the material to gradually approach the cutting disc 5 and moves the pressure point on the material to both sides of the cutting disc 5, applying pressure to the surface of the quail, making the skin at the cut end taut, facilitating cutting and ensuring that the cut end is flush after cutting.

[0030] The position of the pressure rod 8 is fixed and adjusted by adjusting screw 10 and mounting plate 9: mounting plate 9 is fixed above frame 1, and adjusting screw 10 passes through mounting plate 9 and connects to pressure rod 8; two nuts are fitted on adjusting screw 10, a locking nut 11 located above mounting plate 9 (used to lock the adjusted position), and a top tightening nut 12 located below mounting plate 9 (for auxiliary fixing and fine adjustment); in addition, mounting plate 9 has a through groove 13, and adjusting screw 10 can move laterally along through groove 13 to adjust the lateral position of pressure rod 8 to adapt to materials of different specifications.
