Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne les dispositifs permettant de suspendre des volailles sur un convoyeur en vue de leur acheminement du lieu d'élevage vers un centre d'abattage par exemple. The present invention relates to devices making it possible to suspend poultry on a conveyor for the purpose of transporting them from the place of breeding to a slaughter center for example.
Il est connu d'utiliser des dispositifs convoyeurs de grande longueur pour acheminer de differents points de collecte à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment d'élevage des volailles vivantes vers un poste de chargement situé à l'extérieur du dit bâtiment. Ce chargement s'effectue soit dans des cages, soit directement dans des véhicules spécialement affectées à ce transport et équipés à cet effet de tapis transporteurs répartissant les volailles selon plusieurs niveaux. Quel que soit le mode de transport utilisé, lesconvoyeur doit répondre entre autres aux exigences de rapidité, notamment en ce qui concerne les opérations de mise en place en position suspendue des volailles et de leur enlèvement en fin de transfert. Ces deux opérations doivent s'effectuer sans risque de ralentissement ou d'arrêt du convoyeur. It is known to use very long conveyor devices to convey different collection points inside a building for breeding live poultry to a loading station located outside said building. This loading is carried out either in cages, or directly in vehicles specially assigned to this transport and equipped for this purpose with conveyor belts distributing the poultry according to several levels. Whatever the mode of transport used, the conveyor must meet, among other things, the requirements of speed, in particular with regard to the operations of placing poultry in the suspended position and of removing them at the end of transfer. These two operations must be carried out without risk of slowing down or stopping the conveyor.
A titre d'information, pour une installation d'élevage groupant vingt mille poulets, l'opération d'évacuation dure environ cinq heures, le nombre d'évacuation au cours d'une année étant environ de sept, ce cui implique pour l'éleveur la nécessité d'un équipement en moyens mécaniques rapides. Ces convoyeurs sont généralement équipés de chaines transporteuses dont les maillons portent les moyens d'accrochage des volailles, tels que des étriers par exemple.For information, for a breeding facility grouping twenty thousand chickens, the evacuation operation lasts approximately five hours, the number of evacuations during a year being approximately seven, this implies that for the breeder the need for rapid mechanical equipment. These conveyors are generally equipped with conveyor chains, the links of which carry the means for hooking poultry, such as stirrups for example.
Le dispositif, suivant l'invention, permet de réaliser l'accrochage rapide d'une ou de plusieurs volailles par les pattes et leur maintien en position suspendue sans risque de glissement, en évitant tout risque de mutilation des volailles au moment de la fermeture, laquelle fermeture s'effectue également sans risque d'accident corporel pour les personnes chargées de la mise en place et de l'enlèvement des volailles sur la chaine du convoyeur, lesquelles personnes peuvent opérer indifféremment de la main droite ou de la main gauche. The device according to the invention makes it possible to rapidly attach one or more poultry by the legs and keep them in the suspended position without the risk of slipping, while avoiding any risk of mutilation of the poultry at the time of closure, which closure is also carried out without risk of bodily injury for the persons responsible for placing and removing poultry on the conveyor chain, which persons can operate either with the right hand or with the left hand.
Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, est constitué de deux mâchoires articulées dont l'ouverture et la fermeture s'effectuent symétriquement par rapport à l'axe vertical passant par le point de suspension, au moyen d'un jeu de biellettes constituant un parallélogramme déformable, le maintien en position ouverte ou fermée des dites mâchoires étant assuré par un ressort de traction. La manoeuvre de fermeture s'effectue par la mise en appui sur l'une ou l'autre des mâchoires de l'avant bras de la personne chargée de maintenir les pattes de la ou des volailles dans l'écartement des mâchoires, chaque mâchoire comporte à cet effet une platine d'appui, La manoeuvre d'ouverture peut s'effectuer d'une seule main droite ou gauche, l'autre main étant utilisée à la prise en charge des volailles à leur arrivée dans la zone de chargement.La zone active de préhension des mâchoires est constituée d'une levre réalisée au moyen d'un rond en acier formé selon un profil curviligne, le chevauchement des deux lèves en fin de fermeture regroupant les pattes des volailles dans une ouverture de forme ovale à bords arrondis de section suffisante pour interdire tout glissement vers le bas, tout en évitant une quelconque mâchure ou fracture des pattes. The device which is the subject of the invention consists of two articulated jaws, the opening and closing of which take place symmetrically with respect to the vertical axis passing through the point of suspension, by means of a set of links constituting a deformable parallelogram, the maintenance in the open or closed position of said jaws being provided by a tension spring. The closing operation is carried out by pressing one or other of the jaws of the forearm of the person responsible for keeping the legs of the poultry or birds in the jaw spacing, each jaw comprises for this purpose a support plate, the opening maneuver can be carried out with one right or left hand, the other hand being used to take charge of poultry upon their arrival in the loading area. active gripping area of the jaws consists of a lip produced by means of a steel circle formed according to a curvilinear profile, the overlapping of the two lifts at the end of the closure grouping the legs of the poultry in an oval opening with rounded edges of sufficient section to prevent any sliding downwards, while avoiding any chewing or fracturing of the legs.
Les dessins annexés illustrent à titre d'exemple un mode de réalisation du dispositif conforme à la présente invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate by way of example an embodiment of the device according to the present invention.
Ceux-ci représentent - en figure 1, une vue de face du dispositif en position ouverte, - en figure 2, une vue de dessus correspondant à la figure 1, - en figure 3, une vue de face du dispositif en position fermée, - en figure 4, une vue de dessus correspondant à la figure 3.These represent - in FIG. 1, a front view of the device in the open position, - in FIG. 2, a top view corresponding to FIG. 1, - in FIG. 3, a front view of the device in the closed position, - in FIG. 4, a top view corresponding to FIG. 3.
Tel qu'il est représenté, le dispositif est suspendu à intervalles réguliers au moyen d'une patte d'attache 1, à une chaine de convoyage continue ; il se compose d'un jeu de quatre biellettes 2, 3, 4 et 5 en fers plats s'articulant entre elles de manière à constituer un parallélogramme déformable ; deux d'entre elles 4 et 5 de longueur plus grande sont repliées à leur extrémité libre et comportent soudée sur ce retour d'équerre une platine d'appui rectangulaire 6 réalisée en tôle mince pliée en forme de vé inversé, selon une ligne de pliage 7. Chaque platine comporte vers l'arrière une extension de son arête extérieure munie à son extrémité d'un trou 8 assurant l'ancrage d'un ressort de traction 9. L'arête intérieure de la platine est bordée par un rond en acier 10 formé selon un profil curviligne et soudé sur ladite arête.Ce profil se compose d'une partie demi-circulaire 10a dont le bord intérieur constitue la face active proprement dite des mâchoires et d'un retour 10b selon un angle fermé 10c, le profil ainsi réalisé permettant sa soudure sur les deux côtés formant l'angle de la platine d'appui. As shown, the device is suspended at regular intervals by means of an attachment lug 1, from a continuous conveying chain; it consists of a set of four rods 2, 3, 4 and 5 in flat bars hinging together so as to constitute a deformable parallelogram; two of them 4 and 5 of greater length are folded at their free end and comprise welded on this return square a rectangular support plate 6 made of thin sheet metal folded in the shape of an inverted vee, according to a fold line 7. Each plate has a rear extension of its outer edge provided at its end with a hole 8 ensuring the anchoring of a tension spring 9. The inner edge of the plate is bordered by a steel ring 10 formed according to a curvilinear profile and welded to said edge. This profile consists of a semicircular part 10a whose inner edge constitutes the actual face of the jaws and of a return 10b at a closed angle 10c, the profile thus produced allowing it to be welded on both sides forming the angle of the support plate.
L'extrémité de chaque partie demi-circulaire est formée de façon à éviter toute interférence au cours de la manoeuvre de fermeture du dispositif.The end of each semicircular part is formed so as to avoid any interference during the closing operation of the device.
La figure 2 rehrésentant le dispositif en position ouverte montre la section disponible pour effectuer l'introduction de deux, quatre ou six pattes de volailles, laquelle introduction est facilitée par l'arrondi de chaque angle 10c. La partie repliée de la platine 6 la plus éloignée de l'axe vertical du dispositif se trouve alors sensiblement horizontale et permet la mise en appui du bras de la personne chargée de l'introduction pour provoquer la fermeture tout en maintenant les pattes des volailles. Figure 2 showing the device in the open position shows the section available for carrying out the introduction of two, four or six poultry legs, which introduction is facilitated by the rounding of each angle 10c. The folded part of the plate 6 furthest from the vertical axis of the device is then substantially horizontal and allows the support of the arm of the person responsible for the introduction to cause the closure while maintaining the legs of the poultry.

La figure 4 represen/ le dispositif en position fermée montre la section de forme ovale disponible pour le passage des pattes des volailles, la translation des deux profils curvilignes l'un sur l'autre dirigeant par glissement sur leurs bords arrondis les pattes vers le centre de cette section, sans abimer les dites pattes.tnt
Figure 4 represen / the device in the closed position shows the oval section available for the passage of the legs of poultry, the translation of the two curvilinear profiles one on the other directing by sliding on their rounded edges the legs towards the center of this section, without damaging the said legs.
L'action du ressort de traction 9 s'exerce pour déclencher la fermeture ou l'ouverture des mâchoires selon que sa ligne d'action joignant les deux points d'ancrage 8 se situe respectivement en-dessous ou en-dessus du point d'articulation 11. Un téton 12 implanté sur l'une des biellettes limite l'action de ce ressort et par suite l'ouverture des mâchoires. The action of the tension spring 9 is exerted to trigger the closing or the opening of the jaws according to whether its line of action joining the two anchoring points 8 is respectively below or above the point of joint 11. A stud 12 installed on one of the links limits the action of this spring and consequently the opening of the jaws.
L'invention ne se limite aucunement au mode de réalisation des différentes parties spécialement indiquées, mais elle embrasse toutes les variantes possibles à condition que celles-ci ne soient pas en contradiction avec l'objet de chacune des revendications annexées à la présente description. The invention is in no way limited to the embodiment of the various parts specially indicated, but it embraces all possible variants provided that these are not in contradiction with the subject of each of the claims annexed to this description.
Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, peut être utilisé pour réaliser l'accrochage rapide en position suspendue de tous objets ou animaux, séparément ou par groupe, et plus particulièrement celui des volailles pour leur transport des lieux d'épis vage vers un poste de chargement. The device which is the subject of the invention can be used to quickly attach any object or animal in a suspended position, separately or in groups, and more particularly that of poultry for their transport from the groynes to a post. loading.
