[0002] Inside slaughterhouses, livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep remain in a high-temperature environment in their abdominal cavities after slaughter. Over time, this can lead to a significant decline in the quality of offal and related meat. Furthermore, the offal can spoil due to bacterial growth caused by the high temperature, which is very detrimental to preservation. Therefore, it is necessary to cool down the abdominal cavities of pigs, cattle, and sheep after slaughter. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the problems described in the background, the problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device for cooling the abdominal viscera of pigs, cattle, and sheep. This device uses a chiller and a hollow knife as corresponding components to cool the abdominal cavity of pigs, cattle, and sheep after slaughter, thus solving the problem mentioned above that the abdominal cavity remains at a high temperature, which over time leads to a significant decline in the quality of the viscera and related meat, and is also very detrimental to preservation.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a device for cooling the abdominal viscera of pigs, cattle, and sheep, including a chiller unit 1, a water storage evaporator 2, a pipeline pump 3, an insulated water distributor 4, an insulated hose 5, a control valve group 6, a cone head 7, and a hollow water injection knife 8. The chiller unit 1 is connected to the water storage evaporator 2. The output end of the water storage evaporator 2 is equipped with the pipeline pump 3. The output end of the pipeline pump 3 is equipped with the insulated water distributor 4. The insulated water distributor 4 has four diversion interfaces. The diversion interfaces are connected to one end of the insulated hose 5. The other end of the insulated hose 5 is connected to the control valve group 6. The output end of the control valve group 6 is connected to the hollow water injection knife 8. The output end of the hollow water injection knife 8 is equipped with a cone head 7.

[0019] During operation, a chiller unit 1 stably generates low-temperature chilled water, which is then maintained and stored by a storage evaporator 2. Power is generated by a pipeline pump 3 to ensure the delivery of the low-temperature chilled water. The low-temperature chilled water is then distributed by an insulated distributor 4 and transported through an insulated hose 5. After being delivered to the control valve group 6, the supply and shut-off of the low-temperature chilled water are controlled by the control valve group 6. During the delivery process, a hollow water injection knife 8, in conjunction with a cone 7, effectively penetrates the internal organs and delivers the chilled water to complete the entire workflow.

[0020] Among them, chiller unit 1 serves as the core of the entire cooling system, responsible for continuously producing low-temperature chilled water. Its working principle is based on a compression refrigeration cycle: the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then condensed into a liquid state by the condenser. The expansion valve then throttles and reduces the pressure to a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant, which finally enters the evaporator to absorb heat from the water, cooling the room-temperature water to a low-temperature chilled water of 3-5℃. This component features high refrigeration efficiency and precise temperature control (error ±0.5℃). It can automatically adjust the refrigeration power according to the slaughter volume to meet the cooling requirements under different working conditions, providing a stable low-temperature water source for subsequent viscera cooling.

[0021] The storage-type evaporator 2 serves a dual function of heat exchange and chilled water storage, acting as a crucial link between the chiller unit 1 and the cooling terminal. Internally, it features a high-efficiency heat exchange coil. The low-temperature chilled water produced by the chiller unit 1 enters the coil and exchanges heat with the circulating water in the storage-type evaporator 2's water tank, ensuring the water temperature remains constant within the set low-temperature range. Simultaneously, the storage-type evaporator 2 has a large water storage capacity (500-2000L capacity can be customized according to slaughter scale), buffering cooling fluctuations in the chiller unit 1 and preventing temperature increases due to sudden peak water usage. This ensures the stability and continuity of chilled water supply during subsequent cooling processes, providing a continuous low-temperature medium for visceral cooling.

[0022] The pipeline pump 3 serves as the power delivery device for the low-temperature chilled water within the system. It is responsible for pressurizing the low-temperature chilled water in the storage evaporator 2 and then delivering it to the insulated water distributor 4 and subsequent cooling terminals. This component is made of corrosion-resistant, low-noise stainless steel and features high head (3-8m) and stable flow rate. The output power can be adjusted according to the pipeline length and the number of terminals to ensure that the low-temperature chilled water is delivered evenly and efficiently to each cooling terminal, thus avoiding a decrease in cooling efficiency due to poor water flow.

[0023] The insulated water distributor 4, serving as the central hub for distributing and insulating low-temperature cold water, primarily distributes the cold water delivered by the pipeline pump 3 evenly to multiple insulated hoses 5, while preventing the water temperature from rising due to heat loss during transport. The insulated water distributor 4 utilizes a polyurethane integral foam insulation layer, providing excellent insulation performance (water temperature drop ≤1℃ / h). It features four internal distribution ports, each equipped with a valve, allowing independent adjustment of the water flow. This facilitates flexible adjustment of the water supply according to the cooling needs of different internal organs, ensuring a stable low-temperature water source for each cooling terminal.

[0024] The insulated hose 5 serves as a flexible delivery channel connecting the insulated water distributor 4 and the control valve assembly 6, responsible for delivering the distributed low-temperature chilled water to the cooling terminal. The insulated hose 5 employs a double-layer structure: the inner layer is made of food-grade silicone to ensure the chilled water is uncontaminated and meets food hygiene standards; the outer layer is a polyurethane insulation layer, reinforced with a braided mesh layer, combining insulation (water temperature drop ≤ 0.5℃ / m), flexibility, and pressure resistance. It can be flexibly bent according to the slaughter line layout, adapting to different installation environments and avoiding installation inconvenience or damage caused by excessive pipe rigidity, while ensuring the temperature stability of the chilled water during delivery.

[0025] Control valve assembly 6 serves as the intelligent control switch for low-temperature chilled water delivery. Its core function is to automatically control the delivery and shut-off of low-temperature chilled water based on the cooling requirements of internal organs, achieving precise cooling. This control valve assembly 6 is equipped with an electronic timer and a solenoid valve, allowing for preset cooling durations (1-10 minutes, adjustable depending on the type of internal organ). Once the set time is reached, the solenoid valve automatically closes to stop water supply, thus preventing frostbite to internal organs due to excessive cooling or water waste due to forgetting to close the valve. Simultaneously, the valve assembly has a manual emergency control function; in case of automatic mode failure, the water flow can be manually adjusted via the valve to ensure normal system operation.

[0026] The cone tip 7 guides chilled water into the puncture site via a hollow water-injection knife 8, achieving efficient cold water infusion and effectively preventing blood and hot liquids from entering the abdominal cavity and causing visceral contamination. The cone tip 7 features a blunt tip design, significantly reducing sharpness and creating only a minimal wound on the skin surface during puncture; given the good elasticity of animal skin, the wound closes naturally. When the cone is withdrawn, its built-in one-way flow guide structure automatically closes the valve, ensuring that during the injection of chilled water into the abdominal cavity, blood and hot liquids within the abdominal cavity do not flow back into the tube. This design eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and ensures the safety and quality of the viscera.

[0027] The hollow water injection knife 8, with a diameter of 20mm, serves as an auxiliary puncture and drainage tool used in conjunction with the cone tip 7. It is primarily used to pre-treat the carcass skin before puncture by the cone tip 7, or in special cases (such as thick-skinned cattle carcasses) to assist the cone tip 7 in puncture, ensuring its smooth entry into the abdominal cavity. The hollow water injection knife 8 is made of food-grade stainless steel, with a sharp blade and rounded edges. During puncture, it quickly forms a channel that matches the cone tip 7 without excessively damaging the skin tissue. Its internal hollow structure serves as a temporary drainage channel, temporarily replacing the cone tip 7 to deliver a small amount of cold water before installation, or draining a small amount of blood from the abdominal cavity after puncture, further ensuring the cleanliness of the internal organ cooling environment. Together with the cone tip 7, it achieves safe and efficient cooling operations.
