Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Purpose of the invention" (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a resting loading device for a slaughtering machine for transporting birds such as broilers into the slaughtering machine while resting them.

(Prior Art) A conventional rest loading device for a poultry slaughtering machine includes a pair of resting rollers arranged in parallel and rotating in the same direction.
By bringing the neck and chest of a bird suspended and transported on a transport line into contact with the resting roller and caressing the bird, a hypnotic effect is exerted on the bird and the bird is made to rest.

However, in such conventional devices, the resting roller itself does not have a conveyance function, so when a bird moves on the resting roller as it is being conveyed by the conveyance line, the contact area of the bird with the roller is bent in the conveying direction due to frictional resistance. The bird was left behind, and the bird was obliquely crossed with respect to the axis of the roller, and the bird's neck and chest were not securely in contact with the resting roller, and there was a risk that the hypnotic effect could not be effectively exerted. Additionally, if the bird is delivered to the slaughtering machine in an inclined state, there is a risk that the cut into the bird's neck in the slaughtering machine will be at an angle, resulting in incomplete slaughter. This was troublesome, as it was necessary to straighten the bird's posture when transporting it to the slaughtering machine.

(Technical problem to be solved by the invention) The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a resting roller with a conveyance function so that the bird can be moved in a state perpendicular to the axis of the resting roller. be.

"Structure of the invention" (Means for solving the technical problem) The means taken by the present invention to solve the above technical problem is to guide the neck or chest of the bird over the entire length of the outer circumference of each resting roller. A guide section for conveyance is formed, and the conveyance speed by the guide section of the roller is synchronized with the conveyance speed of the conveyance line.

(Function) According to the above means, as the resting roller rotates, the neck and chest of the bird are guided and transported by the guide portion on the outer periphery of the resting roller, and by the synchronized transport of the resting roller and the transport line, The bird moves perpendicular to the axis of the resting roller.

(Example) The rest loading device for a slaughtering machine of this example is equipped with a pair of resting rollers a and b arranged in parallel as shown in Figs. It has added functionality.

The resting rollers a and b are each made of a synthetic resin material, and are arranged so as to be inclined upward in the forward direction of the conveyance direction and shifted in position up and down, and are suspended from the lower roller a by the conveyance line L. The neck of bird C, which is being conveyed by
Their chests are now touching each other.

Both ends of the resting rollers a, b are rotatably supported by a frame f, and one end thereof is connected to a motor M via belt transmission devices 3, 4, and the motor M causes the resting rollers a, b to be rotated. b are driven and rotated at the same speed in the same direction indicated by arrow g.

Spiral guide portions a ₁ , b ₁ are formed on the outer peripheries of the resting rollers a, b over their entire lengths.

These guide parts a ₁ and b ₁ are for guiding and conveying the neck or chest of the bird C, and have spiral protrusions 1 a and 1 b having the same pitch and phase formed separately on the outer periphery of the resting rollers a and b, respectively. It becomes. The conveyance speed of the resting rollers a, b by the guide parts a ₁ , b ₁ is synchronized with the conveyance speed of the conveyance line L, and in order to obtain synchronization of the conveyance speed, the rotational speed of the motor M is appropriately controlled. I'll do what I do.

The resting conveyance device for a poultry slaughtering machine of this embodiment as described above transports the bird C while guiding the neck and _chest of the bird C by the rotation of the resting rollers _a and b. On the other hand, since the conveyance speeds of the rollers a and b and the conveyance line L are synchronized, they work together to move the bird C in a state perpendicular to the axes of the resting rollers a and b. The neck and chest of the bird C are reliably maintained in contact with the resting rollers a and b, thereby effectively exerting the hypnotic effect, and the bird C is carried into a slaughtering machine (not shown) in a correct posture.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the spiral protrusions 1a and _1b constituting the guide parts a ₁ and b 1 are separate from the resting rollers a and b, so the existing rollers are improved and the guide parts are added to the same rollers. Can be easily added.

Next, a modification of the guide portion of the resting roller shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be described.

These guide parts a ₁ and b ₁ are formed by forming spiral grooves 2 a and 2 b with the same pitch and phase on the outer periphery of the resting rollers a and b, respectively, and the grooves 2 a and 2 b contact along the neck and chest of the bird C. By doing so, the guidance function can be more reliably fulfilled.

"Effect of the invention" According to the configuration of the invention as described above, the resting roller maintains the conveying function and the bird moves on the roller while maintaining the state perpendicular to the axis of the roller, and the bird's neck is The bird's chest and chest are securely in contact with the resting roller, effectively exerting a hypnotic effect, and the bird can be carried into the slaughtering machine in the correct posture, eliminating the need to correct the bird's posture as in the past. , labor saving can be achieved.
