Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a chicken gizzard conveying device that facilitates manual feeding. Background Technology

[0002] In the chicken gizzard processing, the manual feeding stage is a crucial step connecting raw material storage with subsequent processing, requiring a conveyor system to ensure the orderly transfer of gizzards. Existing chicken gizzard conveying devices mostly employ a single conveyor channel structure, directly transporting gizzards via a material conveyor on a frame. Manual labor is required to sort and feed the gizzards from the stockpile on one side or at the end of the conveyor. This traditional system has significant drawbacks: firstly, the lack of a diversion structure leads to a large accumulation of gizzards at the beginning of the conveyor, causing chaos during manual sorting and increasing labor intensity; secondly, the absence of a dedicated temporary storage and guiding structure results in a mismatch between the conveying speed and the manual feeding speed, easily leading to leakage or congestion; and thirdly, limited manual operating space necessitates frequent bending or reaching, resulting in poor operational convenience and overall low feeding efficiency, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency production demands of large-scale chicken gizzard processing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a chicken gizzard conveying device that optimizes the feeding process and improves operational convenience, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a chicken gizzard conveying device that facilitates manual feeding. This device diverts chicken gizzards to the sorting and feeding conveyors on both sides through the hopper, and uses blocking components to temporarily store the materials. The low conveying surface design facilitates manual sorting and feeding, effectively avoids chicken gizzard accumulation, improves feeding efficiency, and has a simple and compact structure that is suitable for the manual feeding needs of chicken gizzard processing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a chicken gizzard conveying device that facilitates manual feeding, comprising a frame, on which a material conveyor for conveying chicken gizzards is mounted, a hopper is mounted on the frame corresponding to one end of the conveyor, and sorting and feeding conveyors are mounted on both sides of the hopper corresponding to the conveyor. The sorting and feeding conveyors are arranged in the same direction as the material conveyor, and the inlet end of the sorting and feeding conveyor is connected to the outlet end of the hopper. A blocking component is mounted on the frame corresponding to the outlet end of the sorting and feeding conveyor. The conveying surface of the sorting and feeding conveyor is lower than that of the material conveyor. This structure expands the operating space by diverting the feeding from both sides, the low conveying surface design conforms to ergonomics, and the blocking component allows for temporary storage of materials, significantly reducing the labor intensity of manual feeding and improving efficiency.

[0005] To further optimize this utility model, the following technical solutions may be preferred: Preferably, a side skirt is provided on the frame corresponding to the outer position of the sorting and feeding conveyor, and multiple material buckets are hung on the side skirt. This design allows the sorted chicken gizzards to be stored nearby, avoiding the extra steps of material transfer. At the same time, the side skirt can prevent the chicken gizzards from leaking during the conveying process and improve the continuity of operation.

[0006] Preferably, the blocking component is a blocking plate, which is positioned above the discharge end of the sorting and feeding conveyor. The frame has a mounting slot corresponding to the position of the blocking plate. The blocking plate can effectively intercept the conveyed chicken gizzards to prevent them from falling. The mounting slot structure enables quick disassembly and reassembly of the blocking plate and position adjustment, enhancing the adaptability of the device.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying speed of the sorting and feeding conveyor is lower than that of the material conveyor. This speed difference design makes the material conveying at the sorting and feeding end smoother, matching the operation rhythm of manual sorting, and preventing problems such as untimely sorting or missed inspection due to excessively fast material conveying.

[0008] Preferably, the hopper is inverted V-shaped and includes two opposing sliding ramps. Back plates are provided on both sides of the sliding ramps. The back plates and sliding ramps form two discharge ports, which extend to the feeding position of the sorting and feeding conveyor. The inverted V-shaped structure combined with the double discharge ports can achieve uniform distribution of chicken gizzards to the two conveyors. The sliding ramps and back plates can guide the orderly flow of materials and avoid discharge congestion.

[0009] Preferably, the material conveyor includes conveyor plates connected end to end in the circumferential direction. The conveyor plates are provided with recessed gizzard receiving grooves. Corresponding to the position of the gizzard receiving grooves, the conveyor plates are provided with slitting channels along the conveying direction to facilitate the passage of slitting blades. The gizzard receiving grooves can position the gizzards to prevent them from shifting during conveying, while the slitting channels provide precise working space for subsequent processing, improving the automation connection effect of gizzard processing.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the gizzard receiving trough is covered with an elastic anti-slip pad, and a through drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the receiving trough. The elastic anti-slip pad can enhance the friction between the gizzard and the receiving trough to prevent slippage, while protecting the gizzard skin from damage. The drainage hole can drain the moisture or impurities on the surface of the gizzard in time, keeping the conveying environment dry and clean.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. Synergistic diversion and temporary storage significantly improves feeding efficiency. This device achieves uniform bidirectional diversion of chicken gizzards through a combination of an inverted V-shaped discharge hopper and two-sided sorting and feeding conveyors, fundamentally avoiding the problem of material accumulation and congestion in traditional single conveying channels. Combined with the blocking components at the discharge end of the sorting and feeding conveyors, the chicken gizzards can be temporarily stored in an orderly manner, matching the material supply rhythm with manual sorting operations. Furthermore, the design of the sorting and feeding conveyors, which are lower than the material conveyor surface, conforms to ergonomic principles, reducing the bending and stretching required by manual labor, lowering labor intensity, and significantly improving feeding efficiency per unit time.

[0012] 2. Significantly enhanced ease of operation and continuity. The side skirts on the outer side of the frame not only effectively prevent the risk of side leakage during the chicken gizzard conveying process, but also allow the suspended material bins to be stored nearby after sorting, eliminating the extra step of secondary material transfer and shortening the operation process; the blocking uprights are fixed with mounting slots, and the installation position can be quickly adjusted or disassembled according to the actual conveying volume, adapting to the conveying needs of chicken gizzards of different sizes and improving the operational flexibility of the device.

[0013] 3. Material conveying stability and integrity are guaranteed. The sorting and feeding conveyor is set at a lower speed than the material conveyor, making the chicken gizzards move more smoothly at the sorting end and avoiding problems such as untimely manual sorting or missed inspections caused by materials moving too fast. The material feeding ramp and back plate of the discharge hopper form a directional guiding structure, which, together with the wear-resistant protrusions that may be added on the inner side, ensures that the chicken gizzards flow along the preset trajectory and prevents jamming and accumulation. The chicken gizzard receiving groove on the material conveyor plate and the elastic anti-slip pad on the inner wall can stably position the chicken gizzards and avoid damage to the skin caused by vibration displacement or mutual collision during the conveying process, thereby improving the quality of material processing.

[0014] 4. Achieve efficient connection between conveying and subsequent processing. The slitting channel on the conveyor plate, corresponding to the gizzard receiving tank, along with the guide grooves on both sides, can accurately guide the slitting blade to operate, avoiding the cutting deviation problem caused by gizzard displacement in traditional conveying, and providing a stable operating benchmark for subsequent processing; at the same time, the drainage holes at the bottom of the receiving tank can promptly remove moisture and impurities from the surface of the gizzards, keeping the conveying environment dry and clean, reducing the risk of material deterioration, and also providing support for hygiene assurance in subsequent processing stages.

[0015] 5. Compact structure and high practicality. All components of this device are integrated into the same frame, resulting in a simple and compact overall structure that occupies little production space and is suitable for chicken gizzard processing scenarios of various scales. All optimized structures adopt mature mechanical connection methods, making manufacturing costs controllable, easy to maintain, and with a low failure rate. They can provide long-term stable service to the production process and have extremely high practical value and promising prospects for promotion. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment discloses a chicken gizzard conveying device that facilitates manual feeding. The device includes a frame 1, which is formed by welding rectangular steel pipes. Its length is set to 5-8m according to the requirements of the processing line, and its width is set to 1.8-2.2m. The bottom is welded with height-adjustable support feet. The level of the frame 1 can be adjusted by rotating the feet to adapt to different ground environments.

[0021] A material conveyor 2 for conveying chicken gizzards is fixedly installed along the length of the frame 1. The material conveyor 2 adopts a chain plate conveying structure, including a drive roller, a driven roller, and a conveyor chain plate wound between the two rollers. The drive roller is driven by a geared motor (power 1.5kW, speed 1400r / min), which drives the conveyor chain plate to rotate at a speed of 1-1.2m / s. The conveyor chain plate is formed by multiple metal conveyor plates 21 hinged end to end by pins. Each conveyor plate 21 has an integrally formed recessed chicken gizzard receiving groove 22. The receiving groove 22 has an arc-shaped structure with a depth of 3-5cm and an inner diameter that matches the size of common chicken gizzards (diameter 5-8cm), which can stably limit the position of a single chicken gizzard. On the conveyor plate 21, corresponding to the centerline of the chicken gizzard receiving tank 22, a slitting channel 23 with a width of 1-1.5cm is opened along the conveying direction. V-shaped guide grooves 24 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the slitting channel 23. The opening width of the guide grooves 24 gradually narrows from the outside to the inside until it matches the width of the slitting channel 23, providing precise guidance for the subsequent slitting blade. A 0.5cm thick elastic anti-slip pad 25 (made of food-grade rubber) is adhered to the inner wall of the chicken gizzard receiving tank 22 with food-grade silicone adhesive. Two to three through-holes 26 with a diameter of 0.8-1cm are opened at the bottom of the receiving tank 22 to promptly drain blood or washing water adhering to the surface of the chicken gizzards.

[0022] A V-shaped feed hopper 3 is bolted to the feed end of the material conveyor 2 on the frame 1. The feed hopper 3 is made of 304 stainless steel sheet and has an overall height of 80-100cm. The top feed opening is 60cm×40cm, which can meet the discharge requirements of the front-end hopper. The feed hopper 3 includes two oppositely arranged sliding ramps 31 with an inclination angle of 30-45° (this angle range ensures that the chicken gizzards slide smoothly by their own weight and avoid jamming). The inner wall of the sliding ramp 31 has wear-resistant ridges 32 extending along the downward direction (ridge height 0.3cm, spacing 5cm), which can enhance wear resistance and guide the orderly flow of chicken gizzards. The material conveyor 31 has a back plate 33 with a height of 20cm welded on both sides. The back plate 33 and the material conveyor 31 enclose two symmetrical discharge ports 34. The width of the discharge ports 34 is 15-20cm. The bottom edge is bent to form a smooth transition. The two discharge ports 34 extend to 5-8cm above the conveying surface of the subsequent sorting and feeding conveyor, ensuring that the material falls accurately into the sorting and conveying area.

[0023] The unloading hopper 3 is located on both sides of the material conveyor 2, and the sorting and feeding conveyor 4 is symmetrically installed. The sorting and feeding conveyor 4 also adopts a chain plate structure, and its arrangement direction is completely consistent with that of the material conveyor 2. The conveying length is 2-3m, which can accommodate 1-2 operators working at the same time. The conveying surface of the sorting and feeding conveyor 4 is 15-20cm lower than the conveying surface of the material conveyor 2 (this height difference is ergonomic, so that the operator's arms can be naturally placed on the sorting conveying surface when standing, reducing bending and strain). Its conveying speed is controlled by an independent variable frequency motor at 0.3-0.5m / s, which is lower than the conveying speed of the material conveyor 2, so that the chicken gizzards move slowly at the sorting end, matching the rhythm of manual sorting.

[0024] A blocking component 5 is installed on the frame 1 corresponding to the discharge end of the sorting and feeding conveyor 4. In this embodiment, the blocking component 5 is a stainless steel blocking plate with a height of 15-20cm and a width consistent with the conveying surface width of the sorting and feeding conveyor 4. The blocking plate is positioned 10cm above the discharge end of the sorting and feeding conveyor 4. On the frame 1, corresponding to the two sides of the blocking plate, 3-5 sets of mounting slots 11 (slot spacing 5cm) are vertically provided. The blocking plate has locking pins 12 welded to both sides to fit the slots. By inserting the locking pins into slots of different heights, the installation height of the blocking plate can be adjusted to accommodate the temporary storage needs of materials with different stacking volumes.

[0025] A side skirt plate 6 is bolted to the outer side of the sorting and feeding conveyor 4 on the frame 1. The skirt plate 6 is made of plastic and is 10cm high. Its inner side fits against the edge of the conveying surface of the sorting and feeding conveyor 4, which can effectively prevent chicken gizzards from falling off the side during the conveying process. Multiple L-shaped hooks 61 (hook spacing 30-40cm) are welded to the side skirt plate 6. Each hook is equipped with a 20L material bucket 7. The material bucket 7 is made of food-grade PP material and has an outward-folding handle on the edge of the bucket opening for easy access by operators. It is used for temporary storage of sorted qualified chicken gizzards or defective products to be processed.

[0026] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: The chicken gizzards to be processed are fed into the inverted V-shaped discharge hopper 3 through the front-end elevator. Under the guidance of the sliding slope 31, the chicken gizzards are evenly distributed to the sorting and feeding conveyors 4 on both sides. The sorting and feeding conveyor 4 operates at a low speed of 0.3m / s, transporting the chicken gizzards to the operator's working area. The blocking plate at the discharge end intercepts the chicken gizzards, realizing temporary storage of the material. The operator stands outside the sorting and feeding conveyor 4 and quickly sorts the chicken gizzards on the conveying surface, placing the qualified chicken gizzards into the material bin 7 on the side. Defective products are placed in a separate recycling container. After sorting, the chicken gizzards in the material bucket 7 can be directly poured into the chicken gizzard receiving trough 22 of the material conveyor 2. Under the limiting action of the receiving trough 22, the chicken gizzards move with the conveyor plate 21. The elastic anti-slip pad 25 prevents them from sliding, and the surface moisture drips through the drain hole 26 to the water receiving tray below the frame 1. When the chicken gizzards move to the subsequent cutting station, the cutting blade is precisely inserted into the cutting channel 23 along the guide groove 24 to complete the chicken gizzard cutting process. The whole process realizes the seamless connection of feeding, sorting, conveying and processing.

[0027] In this embodiment, the material, size, and parameters of each component can be flexibly adjusted according to actual production needs. For example, the frame 1 can be made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight, and the capacity of the material bin 7 can be adjusted according to sorting efficiency. As long as the core structure conforms to the technical solution of this utility model, it falls within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
