DD149998A1 - MACHINE FOR SEPARATING THE COOPS OF SLAUGHTER FLOOR - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a machine for separating the heads of the helses in slaughter pelts between the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae of killed poultry moving on the legs with a conveyor track. The aim of the invention is to separate the animal bodies from the animal bodies using the existing technology of all poultry species in order to minimize the effort of the transport chain, keeping the effort in economically justifiable proportions , Inventively, the object has been solved so that a machine has been developed, which takes into account the height adjustable height of the neck of each species. The diversity of the Haelse within the species is compensated for by running into two parallel running rails 1 by a clamping bracket 2. The clamping force of the tensioning bolt is controlled by a tension spring 3. As a result, the heads reach a height, so that the subsequent separation by means of circular blade 4 between the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebra occurs. The drive of the circular blade is done directly by brake motor.

a) Title of the invention

Machine for separating the heads of slaughter poultry

b) Applicability of the invention

The invention relates to a machine for separating the heads from the necks in slaughtered poultry between the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae of killed poultry hanging on the legs and moving along a conveyor track.

c) Characteristic of the known technical solutions

In the slaughtering of poultry, it is necessary to separate the heads from the necks so that the general '. my edible meat content of the human diet to benefit ·

The hitherto generally known devices solve the problem in which the neck is inserted into two guides, which are partially connected knife-shaped »

These devices have the disadvantages that the tearing of the head is not always done in the same place, or the 'heads stuck in the guides and / or congestion arise, which move the poultry intermittently ·

Furthermore, there is the possibility of sticking of the heads, so that the subsequent do not get into the narrow part of the guide and rework is required by the following manpower · An improved variant is shown in the published patent application 2425 958 FRG, in which below

220 27

the guide is arranged in the vertical plane of symmetry a rotating screw for transporting the heads. Even with this improved design but the power to tear off on the transport path, the maximum load on a transport path is limited, so that these devices can only be used for broilers and chickens. In addition, there is an increased closure of the conveyor belt and increased maintenance costs due to the constantly increased tensile load. Furthermore, the length of the conveyor belt is limited due to the power transmission. A reinforcement of the entire system would lead to an economically unreasonable effort, so that the use of such a system for the slaughter of geese and turkeys is not possible or »would lead to the destruction of the transport chain by the forces occurring.

d) Object of the invention

The invention sets itself the goal of leaving the effort in economically acceptable sizes and to separate the heads (of all poultry species TGL-fair from the carcasses ·

e) Presentation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to find a solution that allows the different neck lengths and thicknesses to be considered in order to offer an aesthetic, species-specific carcasses for sale »In addition, the force of the transport chain must be reduced to a minimum to reduce wear in to keep technically necessary limits and reduce maintenance costs "No edible piece of meat should be lost"

According to the invention, the problem was solved in which a machine was developed, which adjustable in height, the neck lengths of the individual species considered • The diversity of the necks within the individual species is after entering two parallel running rails 1 by a clamping bracket, 2 balanced"

The clamping force of the clamping bracket is controlled by a tension spring 3 »This causes the heads in such a height that the subsequent separation by means of circular blade 4 between the 1» and 2 »cervical vertebra occurs» The drive of the circular blade is directly by means of brake motor 5 #

After the separation of the head of the clamp is returned by the force of the tension spring in the starting position and Tension the, by the T _r ansportband approached, the following neck »This ensures that the tearing forces required for tearing off the heads on the. Transport chain lifted, the maintenance costs are reduced and the space required is reduced »In addition, due to the elimination of the tensile forces, the chain length can be designed according to the power transmission» Furthermore, meat losses are avoided and species-specific poultry for sale »

f) embodiment

The invention will be explained below using an exemplary embodiment.

In the accompanying drawing show:

Fig. 1: the top view Fig * 2: the front view

The poultry hung in hooks with the uprights is fed to the guide rail 1 by means of a conveyor belt.

By the passage of the tape reaches the neck of the poultry to the clamping bracket 2, By means of the tension spring is achieved that the neck is only the circular blade 4 'released to separate the head when the head has reached the lower edge of the guide rail 1 »
