Description

OUTIL PERFECTIONNÉ DE DÉTOURAGE DU RECTUM DES
ANIMAUX DE BOUCHERIE APRES ABATTAGE
La présente invention a pour objet un outil perfectionné de détourage du rectum des animaux de boucherie après abattage.
IMPROVED TOOL FOR TRIMMING THE RECTUM OF
AFTER SLAUGHTERING BUTCHER ANIMALS
The present invention relates to an improved tool for trimming the rectum of slaughter animals after slaughter.

Il est destiné à être mis en oeuvre dans les installations d'abattage de tous types, et en particulier dans les installations industrielles fonctionnant à des cadences élevées. It is intended to be used in slaughtering plants of all types, and in particular in industrial plants operating at high rates.

Les dispositifs réalisés à ce jour, par exemple celui décrit dans le brevet américain NO US 3 921 255, sont constitués d'un couteau cylindrique fermé à l'extrémité arrière ce qui ne permet pas un bon fonctionnement en mode automatique en raison des queues qui rentrent à l'intérieur et s'entassent au fond, n'ayant pas de débouché. The devices produced to date, for example that described in American patent NO US 3,921,255, consist of a cylindrical knife closed at the rear end which does not allow proper operation in automatic mode due to the tails which go inside and pile up at the bottom, having no outlet.

En outre, les Services d'Hygiène Vétérinaires de la Communauté Européenne exigent que l'orifice anal des animaux de boucherie soit obturé après abattage, afin d'empêcher que les matières contenues dans l'intestin puissent se répandre sur ou dans la carcasse. Les outils de détourage cités ci-dessus se prêtent mal à la réalisation d'une telle opération, qui se borne le plus souvent à la mise en place manuelle d'un obturateur. In addition, the Veterinary Hygiene Services of the European Community require that the anal orifice of animals for slaughter be closed after slaughter, in order to prevent material contained in the intestine from spreading on or in the carcass. The clipping tools mentioned above do not lend themselves well to carrying out such an operation, which is most often limited to the manual installation of a shutter.

Le brevet NO FR 93 00 320 déposé par le présent demandeur décrit un procédé consistant à injecter dans l'anus de l'animal de la graisse broyée ou un produit équivalent à l'aide d'un dispositif de mise en pression contrôlé par un clapet pouvant être commandé par les équipements d'automatismes de l'installation. Patent NO FR 93 00 320 filed by the present applicant describes a process consisting in injecting into the animal's anus crushed fat or an equivalent product using a pressurization device controlled by a valve. can be controlled by the automation equipment of the installation.

Toutefois, la machine décrite utilise un outil de détourage classique comportant les inconvénients mentionnés plus haut.However, the machine described uses a conventional trimming tool having the drawbacks mentioned above.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention supprime tous ces inconvenients. En effet, non seulement il permet l'évacuation immédiate des morceaux de queue s'étant introduit dans le couteau de détourage, supprimant ainsi les arrêts de l'installation nécessaires auparavent pour vider périodiquement ledit couteau, mais de plus il peut parfaitement s'adapter à une machine équipée d'un injecteur de graisse. The device according to the present invention eliminates all these drawbacks. Indeed, not only does it allow the immediate evacuation of the pieces of tail having been introduced into the clipping knife, thus eliminating the stops of the installation necessary beforehand to periodically empty said knife, but moreover it can perfectly adapt to a machine equipped with a grease injector.

Il est constitué d'un couteau cylindrique dont la paroi est interrompue à l'arrière de manière à permettre en permanence l'évacuation des déchets indésirables, la lame étant reliée au corps du couteau par des entretoises, les ouvertures ainsi créées étant obturables pendant la pénétration dans le corps de l'animal par un anneau à déplacement axial. It consists of a cylindrical knife, the wall of which is interrupted at the rear so as to permanently allow the evacuation of unwanted waste, the blade being connected to the body of the knife by spacers, the openings thus created being closable during the penetration into the animal's body by an axially moving ring.

Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention:
la figure 1 représente un poste de chaîne d'abattage industriel équipé d'un outil de détourage de l'anus des animaux,
la figure 2 est une vue de côté agrandie du couteau monté sur un mandrin de centrage avec les ouvertures d'évacuation des déchets ouvertes,
la figure 3 montre le couteau vu de dessus avec les dites ouvertures fermées, et
la figure 4 est une coupe transversale suivant les flèches A-A de la figure précédente.
In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention:
FIG. 1 represents an industrial slaughter line station equipped with a tool for trimming the anus of animals,
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of the knife mounted on a centering mandrel with the waste discharge openings open,
FIG. 3 shows the knife seen from above with the said openings closed, and
Figure 4 is a cross section along the arrows AA of the previous figure.

Le dispositif, figures 1 à 4, est constitué d'un outil de détourage 1 équipé d'un couteau 2 cylindrique à lame circulaire 3 monté autour du mandrin de centrage 4. The device, FIGS. 1 to 4, consists of a trimming tool 1 equipped with a cylindrical knife 2 with a circular blade 3 mounted around the centering mandrel 4.

La partie arrière de la paroi cylindrique est interrompue et fixée sur le corps du couteau par des entretoises longitudinales 5, de manière à former des ouvertures latérales 6 permettant l'évacuation immédiate de tous les déchets se logeant dans le couteau lors de son fonctionnement, et en particulier des morceaux de queues. The rear part of the cylindrical wall is interrupted and fixed to the body of the knife by longitudinal spacers 5, so as to form lateral openings 6 allowing the immediate evacuation of all the waste lodged in the knife during its operation, and especially pieces of tails.

Les ouvertures 6 pourront avantageusement être réalisées par découpe de la parois cylindrique du couteau 2. The openings 6 may advantageously be produced by cutting the cylindrical wall of the knife 2.

Un manchon cylindrique 7 externe peut coulisser axialement sur la paroi du couteau de manière à obturer ou au contraire dégager les ouvertures 6. Le déplacement de ce manchon est provoqué par deux vérins 8 ou tout autre dispositif adéquat équivalent, contrôlé ou non par les organes d'automatismes de l'installation. La fermeture est commandée lors de la pénétration de l'outil de détourage 1 dans le rectum 9 de l'animal 10, l'ouverture ayant lieu aussitôt que le couteau est ressorti. An external cylindrical sleeve 7 can slide axially on the wall of the knife so as to seal or, on the contrary, clear the openings 6. The displacement of this sleeve is caused by two jacks 8 or any other equivalent suitable device, controlled or not by the organs of of the installation. The closure is controlled when the clipping tool 1 penetrates the rectum 9 of the animal 10, the opening taking place as soon as the knife is pulled out.

Le manchon 7 sera avantageusement fabriqué dans une matière plastique ayant des propriétés autolubrifiantes et comportera un bord avant il aminci pour faciliter la pénétration dans le corps de l'animal de l'ensemble mobile formé par le mandrin de centrage 4, le couteau 2 et ledit manchon. The sleeve 7 will advantageously be made of a plastic material having self-lubricating properties and will include a thinned front edge to facilitate penetration into the body of the animal of the mobile assembly formed by the centering mandrel 4, the knife 2 and said muff.

Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires.  The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar devices.
