Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a sausage hanging device. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of sausages, the sausage filling and twisting processes are key steps in sausage forming. Through technological iteration, these processes have gradually become automated. Dedicated sausage filling equipment can complete the filling and quantitative distribution of sausage casings, while the subsequent twisting machine can automatically twist and separate continuous sausage bodies according to set parameters to form independent sausage units. This reduces manual intervention and effectively improves the production efficiency and product consistency of the preceding processes.

[0003] However, the sausages processed by the twisting machine are continuously discharged to the conveying mechanism or receiving platform. Usually, operators need to hold a special hanging rod and manually thread the sausages one by one into the gaps of the hanging rod. After a set number of sausages are hung on a single hanging rod, the operator will then transfer the hanging rod to the subsequent drying station or smoking equipment to complete the subsequent processing steps such as drying and flavor formation of the sausages.

[0004] This method has the following drawbacks: it requires a large investment of manpower. Each sausage production line usually needs to be equipped with multiple operators to be responsible for hanging operations, and the number of operators required increases in tandem with the increase in production line capacity. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a sausage hanging device, comprising: Power unit; A belt mechanism connected to a power unit; The hooks are provided in multiples, and the multiple hooks are fixed on the belt of the belt mechanism, and the multiple hooks are arranged at equal intervals along the belt; The hook includes: The fixing part, which is kept connected by a belt; The main body is bent along the direction of the hanging operation, and the upper end of the main body is smoothly connected to the middle of the fixing part. The hook head is located at the lower end of the main body. The hook head is bent from the end of the main body towards the main body to form an open hook-shaped structure.

[0006] This invention uses a power device to drive a belt mechanism, which in turn drives multiple hooks fixed on the belt to move in a cyclical motion. This enables the hanging of twisted sausages. The hooks attach to the sausages through an open hook-shaped structure at the hook head. Once the device has hung a sausage of a preset length, the operator or robotic arm only needs to lift the hanging rod from the bottom of the sausage to the top to transfer the sausage to the hanging rod. There is no need to manually insert the sausages one by one, which reduces the manpower required for the hanging process, simplifies the hanging process, and improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation.

[0007] Furthermore, the sausage hanging device also includes: A slide rail is installed along the trajectory of the hanging sausage operation. A slide block that is slidably fitted on a slide rail and fixedly connected to a belt, wherein the fixing part is fixed to the slide block.

[0008] By constraining the slide block with the slide rail, the lateral deviation and vertical swaying of the belt caused by uneven force during the cycle can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the hook movement, reducing the error of intestine hooking or the operation jam caused by hook deviation, and improving the reliability of automated intestine hooking.

[0009] Furthermore, the sausage hanging device also includes: The frame, on which the belt mechanism, power unit, and slide rail are all mounted, is a central structure. A translation mechanism is provided, on which the frame is mounted and drives the frame to move horizontally and linearly.

[0010] Furthermore, the translation mechanism includes: plate body; A skateboard, which is slidably mounted on a board body, and the frame is fixed to the skateboard; The second power mechanism drives the skateboard to move horizontally and linearly.

[0011] Furthermore, the second power mechanism includes a second screw that is threadedly engaged with a slide block, and a handwheel is provided at one end of the second screw.

[0012] The second power mechanism drives the frame to move horizontally and linearly, which can adjust the distance between the hook and the twisting device. When producing sausages of different lengths, there is no need to disassemble or replace the main structure of the device. The distance can be adapted by translation, which improves the versatility of the device.

[0013] Furthermore, the sausage hanging device also includes a liftable support, which is fixed to the lower surface of the plate. The liftable support includes: Movable support, which is fixed to the lower surface of the plate; A fixed support that slides in conjunction with a movable support; The first power mechanism drives the movable support to move vertically up and down.

[0014] Furthermore, the first power mechanism is a first screw, which is rotatably mounted on the movable support and threadedly connected to the fixed support.

[0015] Furthermore, a locking element is threaded onto the top of one side of the fixed support, and the tail end of the locking element abuts against the side of the movable support to keep the movable support and the fixed support fixed.

[0016] The vertical height can be adjusted by rotating the first screw to drive the frame. When the discharge height of the intestines of the twisting device in the production line is different or there is a slight difference in the height of the production site, there is no need to replace the device base or raise the equipment. The height can be adjusted simply by lifting, which improves the versatility of the device.

[0017] This utility model has the following advantages: This invention uses a power device to drive a belt mechanism, which in turn drives multiple hooks fixed on the belt to move in a cyclical motion. This enables the hanging of twisted sausages. The hooks attach to the sausages through an open hook-shaped structure at the hook head. Once the device has hung a sausage of a preset length, the operator or robotic arm only needs to lift the hanging rod from the bottom of the sausage to the top to transfer the sausage to the hanging rod. There is no need to manually insert the sausages one by one, which reduces the manpower required for the hanging process, simplifies the hanging process, and improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation.

[0019] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0020] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0021] As described in the background section, the traditional hanging method requires a large investment of manpower. Each sausage production line typically requires multiple operators to be specifically responsible for hanging operations, and the number of operators required increases in tandem with the increase in production line capacity.

[0022] Example 1: Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a sausage hanging device, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the sausage hanging device includes: Power unit 300; Belt mechanism 400, which is connected to the power unit; Hook 200, which is provided in multiples, and the multiple hooks are fixed on the belt of the belt mechanism, and the multiple hooks are arranged at equal intervals along the belt; like Figures 3-5 As shown, the hook includes: Fixing part 210, the belt is kept connected by the fixing part; The main rod 220 is bent along the direction of the hanging operation, and the upper end of the main rod is smoothly connected to the middle of the fixing part. The hook head 230 is located at the lower end of the main body. The hook head is bent from the end of the main body towards the main body to form an open hook-shaped structure.

[0023] Specifically, the power unit can be an electric motor, and the belt mechanism can be a synchronous belt drive mechanism or a sprocket mechanism can be used to replace the belt mechanism. In use, when the preceding twisting machine completes the twisting of the sausage and begins to discharge the sausage into the conveying mechanism / receiving platform, the power unit of the sausage hanging device is activated. The power unit drives the belt of the belt mechanism to circulate along a preset track, and the hook moves synchronously with the belt. When the hook moves with the belt to the sausage discharge area of ​​the twisting device, the bent rod can guide the sausage to slide smoothly towards the hook head. Under the influence of its own weight and the traction force of the hook, the sausage naturally gets into the hook groove on the hook head. The belt continues to rotate, and subsequent hooks repeat the above action in sequence. After hooking the sausage, the hook continues to move along the preset trajectory to the sausage transfer station with the belt mechanism. When the hook carrying the sausage moves to the preset transfer station, the belt mechanism stops operating (or maintains low speed, adjusted according to the actual production rhythm). The operator or robotic arm holds a special hanging rod and lifts the sausage from below the hook head upwards. The sausage detaches from the hook head and is transferred to the hanging rod. After the transfer is completed, the belt mechanism restarts, and the empty hook that has completed the sausage transfer continues to move with the belt, returning to the initial standby position, and entering the next sausage hanging cycle, realizing the continuous operation of the device. In this embodiment, the bending angle of the main rod along the sausage hanging operation direction can be 100°-120°.

[0024] In this embodiment, a power unit drives a belt mechanism to rotate multiple hooks fixed on the belt, enabling the hanging of twisted sausages. The hooks attach to the sausages through an open hook-shaped structure at the hook head. Once the device suspends a sausage of a preset length, the operator or robotic arm only needs to lift the hanging rod from the bottom of the sausage to the top to transfer the sausage to the hanging rod. There is no need to manually insert the sausages one by one, reducing the manpower required for the hanging process, simplifying the hanging process, and improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation.

[0025] For example, the sausage hanging device further includes: The slide rail 600 is set along the hanging cable operation trajectory; The slide 700 is slidably fitted on the slide rail and fixedly connected to the belt, and the fixing part is fixed on the slide.

[0026] This embodiment uses the slide rail to constrain the slide block, which can limit the lateral deviation and vertical swaying of the belt caused by uneven force during the cyclic operation, thereby improving the stability of the hook movement, reducing the error of intestine hooking or operation jamming caused by hook deviation, and improving the reliability of automated intestine hanging.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the sausage hanging device further includes: The frame is 800, and the belt mechanism, power unit, and slide rail are all mounted on this frame. Translation mechanism 500, on which the frame is mounted, drives the frame to move horizontally linearly.

[0028] For example, the translation mechanism includes: Plate 540; Skateboard 510, which is slidably mounted on a board body, and the frame is fixed to the skateboard; The second power mechanism drives the skateboard to move horizontally and linearly.

[0029] For example, the second power mechanism includes a second screw 530, which is threadedly engaged with a slide block, and a handwheel 520 is provided at one end of the second screw.

[0030] The operator manually rotates the handwheel at one end of the second screw. The rotation of the handwheel drives the second screw to rotate synchronously. Because the second screw and the slide plate are threaded together, and the slide plate is restricted by the sliding guide of the board (it cannot rotate synchronously with the screw), the rotational motion of the screw is converted into the horizontal linear motion of the slide plate through the threaded engagement. When the slide plate moves horizontally along the board, it drives the frame (and its core components such as the belt mechanism, hooks, and slide rails) to move in the target direction. For example, to reduce the distance between the hook and the twisting device, turn the handwheel clockwise (assuming the thread is right-handed), and the screw will push the slide plate towards the twisting device; to increase the distance, turn the handwheel counterclockwise.

[0031] The second power mechanism drives the frame to move horizontally and linearly, which can adjust the distance between the hook and the twisting device. When producing sausages of different lengths (which require adjustment of the hook position), there is no need to disassemble or replace the main structure of the device. The distance can be adapted by translation, which improves the versatility of the device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sausage hanging device further includes a liftable support 100, which is fixed to the lower surface of the plate, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the liftable support includes: Movable support 110, which is fixed to the lower surface of the plate; Fixed support 120, which slides in conjunction with movable support; The first power mechanism 140 drives the movable support to move vertically up and down.

[0033] For example, the first power mechanism is a first screw, which is rotatably mounted on a movable support and threadedly connected to a fixed support.

[0034] For example, a locking member 130 is threadedly installed on the top of the fixed support side, and the tail end of the locking member abuts against the side of the movable support to keep the movable support fixed to the fixed support.

[0035] Using a wrench or hand-tightening tool, rotate the locking piece at the top of the fixed support counterclockwise until the tail end of the locking piece is completely disengaged from the side of the movable support. Adjust the height by manually rotating the first screw. The rotation of the screw will cause the movable support to move vertically relative to the fixed support. For example, rotating the screw clockwise will raise the movable support; rotating it counterclockwise will lower it. Once the movable support reaches the target height, stop rotating the first screw and rotate the locking piece clockwise until its tail end is firmly against the side of the movable support.

[0036] The vertical height can be adjusted by rotating the first screw to drive the frame (and the hooks and belt mechanism on the frame). When the discharge height of the intestines of the twisting device in the production line is different or there is a slight difference in the height of the production site, there is no need to replace the device base or raise the equipment. The height can be adjusted simply by lifting and lowering, thus improving the versatility of the device.

[0037] In addition, the first power mechanism and the second power mechanism may also be selected from cylinders, electric cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or other devices that can drive the linear movement of components.

[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
