Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bird's nest feather removal devices, specifically a bird's nest impurity removal device. Background Technology

[0002] Bird's nest is a type of nest built by swiftlets (Apodidae family) and other related species using a mixture of saliva and down feathers. Generally, bird's nest may contain fragments of swiftlet feathers, grass, and other small parts that are inedible. Therefore, before consumption, people often need to clean the bird's nest to remove any unwanted feathers.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number "CN219844953U" discloses a bird's nest cleaning device, which includes a shell and a feather-removing hook disposed on the shell. The feather-removing hook is slidably disposed on the shell, and the sliding direction of the feather-removing hook is consistent with the length direction of the shell. The shell is provided with a removal component for removing and collecting bird's nest feathers from the feather-removing hook, which simplifies the feather-picking operation of technicians on bird's nests.

[0004] The device has shortcomings in its use. Although it can simplify the process of picking feathers from bird's nests and collect the picked feathers, the use of a feather-picking hook makes it easy for the feathers to fall off after being picked up. Furthermore, when the feather-picking hook enters the collection box, the feathers inside the collection box are easy to fall off, causing secondary pollution and reducing work efficiency. In addition, the manual sliding hooking increases labor costs. Therefore, we have proposed a bird's nest impurity removal device. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a bird's nest impurity removal device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A bird's nest cleaning device includes a housing. A movable rod, fully sliding into the housing, is located at the bottom of the housing. A hollow fixed clamp is mounted at the bottom of the movable rod. A motor is mounted on the inner wall of the fixed clamp, and a threaded rod is mounted on the output shaft of the motor. A movable clamp is slidably connected to the bottom of the movable rod. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable clamp, extending out of the fixed clamp and penetrating through the movable clamp, allowing the movable clamp to engage with the fixed clamp. Both the fixed and movable clamps can slide completely into the housing. Multiple air vents are provided on the outer walls of the fixed and movable clamps, with the vent openings inclined towards the clamping position of the fixed and movable clamps. A blower is installed inside the movable rod to facilitate airflow, with its air outlet connected to the air vents. A feather-collecting chamber is provided inside the housing. A collecting device, extending to the bottom of the fixed and movable clamps and positioned below the housing, is installed at the bottom of the feather-collecting chamber. A through-hole is provided on the side of the housing, connecting to the feather-collecting chamber, allowing the collecting device to slide out of the housing.

[0007] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This bird's nest cleaning device features a first cylinder at the top of the slot, which automatically controls the movement of a rod into and out of the housing, reducing manual operation and improving efficiency. A fixed gripper is installed at the bottom of the moving rod, and a movable gripper can slide at the bottom of the moving rod and engage with the fixed gripper to hold the bird's feathers. This makes the bird's feathers more secure during cleaning, preventing them from falling back onto the bird's nest, thus improving work efficiency and reducing secondary contamination of the bird's nest.

[0008] 2. This bird's nest removal device features air vents on the outer walls of the fixed and movable grippers, with the outlet of a miniature fan connected to these vents. When the fixed and movable grippers are clamping the bird's nest feathers, air can be blown out, removing any bird's nest feathers adhering to their outer surfaces and reducing waste. After the grippers release their hold, the outer surfaces of the fixed and movable grippers can be cleaned, removing any remaining feathers, ensuring clean surfaces for better gripping during the next clamping cycle. The feather collecting chamber is equipped with a collecting device that can slide from the collecting chamber into the slot. The collecting device can contact the fixed and movable grippers. The fixed and movable grippers clean the feathers in the slot. The feathers fall to the top of the collecting device and can be carried into the collecting chamber by the collecting device, reducing the number of feathers falling out of the slot and reducing secondary pollution. In addition, an inclined fixing rod is installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the feather collecting chamber, which is not connected to the slot, so as to clean the top of the collecting device and prevent the feathers from sticking to the top of the collecting device, reducing the risk of feathers being carried to other parts and causing secondary pollution.

[0013] A hollow fixed gripper 4 is installed at the bottom of the movable rod 2, and a movable gripper 5 is slidably connected to the bottom of the movable rod 2. The movable gripper 5 can fit with the fixed gripper 4, and the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5 can slide completely into the shell 1. The fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5 can fit completely together to clamp the feathers on the bird's nest, and the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5 can also slide completely into the interior of the shell 1.

[0014] Multiple air vents 15 are provided on the outer side walls of the fixed jaw 4 and the movable jaw 5; the feathers on the outer surfaces of the fixed jaw 4 and the movable jaw 5 can be blown away through the air vents 15 to clean the outer surfaces of the fixed jaw 4 and the movable jaw 5.

[0015] The movable rod 2 is equipped with a blower that can promote air circulation. The air outlet of the blower is connected to the air outlet 15. The blower and the air outlet 15 are connected by a hose (not shown in the figure). The blower can discharge air through the hose from the air outlet 15 to clean the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5.

[0016] The housing 1 has a feather collection cavity, and a collection device that can extend to the bottom of the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5 is installed in the feather collection cavity. The feather collection cavity can hold the picked-out swallow feathers. When the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5 are completely slid into the housing 1, the collection device can slide from the feather collection cavity to the bottom of the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5. When the air blown out of the air outlet 15 cleans the outer surface of the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5, the swallow feathers blown off can fall into the collection device.

[0017] See Figures 1 to 2 The bottom of the housing 1 has a slot 3 that extends into the housing 1. The moving rod 2 is slidably connected in the slot 3, and the outer side wall of the moving rod 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the slot 3. The slot 3 does not completely penetrate the housing 1, and the moving rod 2 can slide inside the slot 3.

[0018] A first cylinder 7 is installed on the inner top surface of the slot 3, and the output end of the first cylinder 7 is connected to the top of the moving rod 2; the moving rod 2 can be controlled to slide up and down in the slot 3 by the first cylinder 7.

[0019] See Figures 1 to 4 A motor 12 is installed on the inner wall of the fixed gripper 4, and a threaded rod 6 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 12; the rotation of the threaded rod 6 is controlled by the motor 12.

[0020] The threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected to the movable jaw 5. The threaded rod 6 extends out of the interior of the fixed jaw 4 and passes through the movable jaw 5. When the threaded rod 6 is rotated, it can drive the movable jaw 5, which is threadedly connected to it, to move at the bottom of the moving rod 2. The top of the movable jaw 5 contacts the bottom of the moving rod 2, and the movable jaw 5 only slides back and forth on the bottom surface of the moving rod 2, cooperating with the fixed jaw 4 to clamp the swallow feathers.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 4 The blowing device includes a miniature fan 11; the miniature fan 11 blows gas into the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5.

[0022] The lower end of the movable rod 2 has a cavity, and the miniature fan 11 is installed inside the cavity.

[0023] The movable rod 2 has an air inlet 14 on its side, which is connected to the air inlet of the micro fan 11. External air can be drawn into the micro fan 11 through the air inlet 14, so that the internal pressure of the micro fan 11 remains constant.

[0024] The air outlet 15 is inclined towards the clamping position of the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5. The air outlet of the miniature fan 11 is connected to the air outlet 15. The inclined air outlet 15 can better blow air onto the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5, making it easier to blow off the swallow feathers. The air blown by the miniature fan 11 and discharged from the air outlet 15 cleans the fixed gripper 4 and the movable gripper 5.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 4 A detachable cavity door 16 is installed on the lower side of the movable rod 2. The cavity door 16 corresponds to the cavity position and can open the cavity. The cavity can be opened by removing the cavity door 16, which can enable the quick disassembly of the miniature fan 11 inside the cavity.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 A fixed rod 13 is installed at the bottom of the movable rod 2. A groove is provided on the inner surface of the fixed rod 13. One end of the fixed rod 13 is connected to the side of the fixed gripper 4 near the movable gripper 5. The fixed rod 13 is fixed to the bottom of the movable rod 2, and the side of the fixed rod 13 is connected to the inner side of the fixed gripper 4. A sliding rod 8 is installed on the side wall of the movable gripper 5. The sliding rod 8 is slidably connected in the groove of the fixed rod 13. The movable gripper 5 can slide along the groove trajectory by sliding the sliding rod 8 in the groove, and the movable gripper 5 can be stably connected to the bottom of the moving rod 2, so that the movable gripper 5 can maintain the same trajectory and slide connected to the bottom of the moving rod 2.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 4 The collection device includes a second cylinder 9 and a collection chamber 10; the swallow feathers that are picked up can be collected by the second cylinder 9 and the collection chamber 10.

[0028] The second cylinder 9 is installed at the bottom of the hair collection chamber and is connected to the side of the bottom of the hair collection chamber away from the moving rod 2; the second cylinder 9 is fixedly connected inside the hair collection chamber.

[0029] The collection chamber 10 is installed on the output end of the second cylinder 9. The collection chamber 10 can slide into the slot 3. The collection chamber 10 can be driven by the second cylinder 9 to slide horizontally from the feather collection chamber into the slot 3. When the fixed claw 4 and the movable claw 5 are completely slid into the housing 1, the collection chamber 10 is located at the bottom of the fixed claw 4 and the movable claw 5, and collects the swallow feathers that are picked up by the fixed claw 4 and the movable claw 5 and brought into the slot 3.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 4 The side of the housing 1 has a through hole 17 that extends into the housing 1. The through hole 17 is connected to the feather collection chamber. The collection chamber 10 can slide out of the housing 1 through the through hole 17.

At this time, the inside of the collection chamber 10 can be cleaned to facilitate better collection of swallow feathers in the next use.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model: In use, place the shell 1 above the bird's nest to be cleaned, and activate the first cylinder 7. This moves the fixed clamping claw 4 and the movable clamping claw 5 downwards to the sides of the bird's nest where the feathers are located. Activate the collection chamber 10, causing the movable clamping claw 5 to move closer to the fixed clamping claw 4. The fixed clamping claw 4 and the movable clamping claw 5 then clamp the feathers. The first cylinder 7 then pulls the fixed clamping claw 4 and the movable clamping claw 5 upwards. When the fixed clamping claw 4 and the movable clamping claw 5 are fully inside the shell 1, activate the second cylinder 9, moving the collection chamber 10 below the fixed clamping claw 4 and the movable clamping claw 5. Start the collection chamber 10 to separate the fixed clamp 4 and the movable clamp 5. Start the micro fan 11 to blow air out of the air outlet 15, blowing the bird feathers on the surface of the fixed clamp 4 and the movable clamp 5 into the collection chamber 10. Then start the second cylinder 9 to retract the collection chamber 10. Repeat this step again. After the feather removal is completed, put the fixed clamp 4 and the movable clamp 5 back into the shell 1. Start the second cylinder 9 to push the collection chamber 10 out of the shell 1 and clean the bird feathers in the collection chamber 10, thus completing the feather removal of the bird's nest.
