Description

Conveyor line and carrier for poultry used in said conveyor line
The invention relates to a conveyor line for poultry suspended by the legs provided with at least one carrier for the poultry, which carrier comprises a carriage for moving the poultry or poultry parts along a conveying direction of the conveyor line, wherein the carrier is arranged with at least a first rotatable vertical rod suspended from the carriage, which first rotatable rod is provided with a sideways extending arm for adjusting an orientation of the poultry or poultry parts with reference to the carriage that is movable in the conveyor line. The invention also relates to a separate carrier which is intended to be used in such a conveyor line.
Such a conveyor line and such a carrier are known from the applicant's earlier application US2005/0037705.
It is an object of the invention to further develop this known conveyor line and carrier such that it is possible to measure the weight of the poultry or poultry part suspended in the carrier without sacrificing the possibility to engage the sideways extending arm provided on the rotatable rod for bypassing the poultry around processing means that may be positioned in the track of the conveyor line.
The applicant remarks that W02011/133028 discloses a conveyor line with a poultry carrier and EP-A-1 440 618 discloses a poultry carrier for a conveyor line, wherein both documents disclose that the carrier has a carriage for moving the poultry along a track of a conveyor line, and wherein the carrier is embodied with hooks for suspending the poultry by the legs, and the carrier is arranged with at least a first rotatable vertical rod suspended from the carriage to enable rotation of the poultry. Both documents further disclose weighing means forming part of the carrier, however neither one of these documents teaches, hints or suggests how to combine the weighing facility of these devices with the facility that the poultry may be bypassed around a processing means in the track of the conveyor line. The teachings of W02011/133028 and EP-A-1 440 618 cannot for that purpose be amalgamated with the teaching of US2005/0037705 since the respective documents teach inherently incompatible constructions. Furthermore the constructions of W02011/133028 and EP-A-1 440 618 entail many components and are therefore costly, whilst hygiene is poor since the constructions are sensitive to accumulation of dirt and grease.
It is therefore another object of the invention to secure hygienic working conditions by an appropriate design of the conveyor line and carrier.
It is still another object of the invention to provide such a conveyor line and carrier with less components as are used in the prior art and to reduce costs.
Still a further object of the invention is to reduce play and friction in relevant parts of the conveyor line and carrier.
The objects of the invention are achieved or at least promoted by the features of the conveyor line and carrier according to one or more of the appended claims.
According to a first aspect of the invention the carrier and the conveyor line in which such carrier is applied, have the feature that near or at the sideways extending arm a frame is provided which is movable up and down with reference to the first vertical rod, wherein a second rod is suspended from said frame, and wherein said movability of the frame causes that the second rod is movable up and down whilst the first rod maintains its altitude, and wherein the hook or hooks for suspending the poultry are provided at a lower end of the second rod. This makes possible that the frame with the second rod can be lifted and its suspension from the first rod can be interrupted to enable accurate measurement of the weight of the poultry attached to the hook or hooks at the lower end of the second rod.
In an embodiment wherein the frame is embodied as a second carriage the point where the second rod is suspended from the first rod is precisely defined by arranging that the first rod and/or the sideways extending arm restrict downward movement of the frame below a predefined position.
Suitably for that purpose the first rod is provided with a stop or stops to restrict downward movement of the frame beyond a point where the stop is or stops are operational .
Different embodiments for the frame embodied as a carriage with capability to be movable up and down are feasible. In one preferred embodiment the second carriage has wheelsets in front and in rear, wherein an axle of the rear wheel set is guided through a channel of the sideways extending arm at a position distant from the first vertical rod, and wherein said channel provides room for up and down movement of the axle.
In another embodiment it is arranged that at a position distant from the first rod, the arm is provided with a hinge to which the second rod pivotably connects by means of the frame that extends sideways from said second rod, and wherein the second rod substantially extends in the longitudinal direction of the first rod when the downward movement of the frame is restricted by said stop or stops. This alternative construction also enables that the frame is lifted (albeit that it is then pivoted around said hinge) to accurately measure the weight of the poultry attached to the hook or hooks at the lower end of the second rod.
Accuracy of the measurement is promoted by arranging symmetry in the construction in that the frame is provided with two legs extending from the hinge towards the first rod on opposite sides of the arm of the first rotatable rod. Preferably then each leg of the frame abuts a stop when the second rod extends in the longitudinal direction of the first rod.
Accuracy of the measurement is further promoted by arranging that the frame is provided with a supporting wheel or wheels, which wheel or wheels are arranged to cooperate with supporting surfaces of weighing scales provided in the conveyor line. One of the advantages of the invention is that this construction avoids that frictional forces have a major impact on the accuracy of the weight measurement.
It is possible to fix the second rod to the frame.
For accuracy reasons however it may be beneficial that the second rod is pivotably connected to the frame at the location near to an axle of the wheel or wheels. The second rod can then always assume an exact vertical orientation, also when the frame is obliquely lifted from the stop or stops of the first rod.
Still further improvement of the accuracy of the weight measurement is possible in a construction wherein the frame has wheels on opposite sides, and the feature is applied that the wheels of each wheelset are mounted on an axle passing through a shaft or bore in the frame, which shaft or bore has convex bottom and top surfaces. This enables that the wheels on opposite sides of the frame have room to move to a slightly different level with respect to each other, to match the possibly different levels of the supporting surfaces of the weighing scales placed on opposite sides of the track of the conveyor line.
It is preferable than that the bottom and top surfaces of the shaft or bore each have an apex at the shaft's center coinciding with a longitudinal body axis of the second rod in order to provide for perfect symmetry.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing: -figure 1 shows a carrier and part of a conveyor line according to a first embodiment of the invention in isometric view; -figure 2 shows a carrier and part of a conveyor line according to the first embodiment of the invention in a frontal view; -figure 3 shows in isometric view a carrier and part of a conveyor line at the location of the weighing scales of the conveyor line according to the first embodiment of the invention; -figure 4 and figure 5 show a first detail of the carrier of the first embodiment of the invention in different positions; -figure 6 shows a second detail of the carrier of the invention in a cross-sectional view and in a side view; and -figures 7 and figure 8 show a side view and an isometric view of a detail of a carrier according to a second embodiment of the invention.
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
With reference to figure 1, 2 and 3 a conveyor line 1 for poultry 2 suspended by the legs 3 is shown, which is provided with at least one carrier 4 for the poultry 2. The carrier 4 comprises a carriage 5 for moving the poultry 2 or poultry parts along a conveying direction of the conveyor line 1, as indicated with arrow A in figure 1 and figure 3. The carrier 4 is arranged with a rotatable vertical rod 6 pivotably suspended from the carriage 5 at hinge 18, and this rotatable rod 6 is provided with a sideways extending arm 7 for adjusting an orientation of the poultry 2 or poultry parts with reference to the carriage 5 that is movable in the conveyor line 1. The sideways extending arm 7 can be used for moving the poultry 2 aside and away from the conveying track of the conveyor line 1 to bypass processing means positioned in said track of the conveyor line 1. This is all consistent with the prior art known from US 2005/0037705.
In a first embodiment of the invention depicted in figures 1-5, the arm 7 is at a position distant from the first rod 6 provided with a hinge 8, wherein a second rod 9 pivotably connects to said hinge 8 by means of a frame 10 that side-ways extends from said second rod 9. This can particularly be seen in figure 4 and figure 5. Figure 4 and 5 further provide a clear picture on the feature that the first rod 6 is provided with a stop 11 or stops for the frame 10 that prevents that the frame 10 and the second rod 9 connected thereto swing to a position below the stop 11. Accordingly figure 4 shows that this feature arranges that the frame 10 comes to rest on the stops 11 so that when the frame 10 abuts against said stop 11 or stops the second rod 9 substantially extends in the longitudinal direction of the first rod 6. The figures further show that the hook or hooks 12 for suspending the poultry 2 are provided at a lower end 9' of the second rod 9.
Figure 5 shows that this construction enables that the frame 10 is lifted from the stop 11 or stops of the first rod 6 which enables an accurate measurement of the weight of the poultry 2 attached to the hook or hooks 12 at the lower end 9' of the second rod 9. Making reference to both figure 3 and figure 5 the weight measurement is preferably carried out with weighing scales 13 placed in or next to the track of the conveyor line 1, wherein the frame 10 is at least provided with a supporting wheel or wheels 14 adjacent to the second rod 9 that are arranged to cooperate with the supporting surfaces 13' of said weighing scales 13. Accordingly the wheels 14 transfer the load of the poultry 2 suspended by the legs 3 in the hooks 12 of the carrier 4 directly on the top surface 13' of the weighing scales 13.
Different features as discussed hereinafter can further promote the accuracy of the weight measurement.
In one preferred embodiment a symmetric load distribution is promoted by arranging that the frame 10 has two legs 10' and 10'' extending from the hinge 8 towards the first rod 6 on opposite sides of the arm 7 extending sideways from the first rotatable rod 6. This is clearly shown in figure 1 and figure 3. In that situation it is also preferred that each leg 10', 10'' of the frame 10 abuts a stop 11 when the second rod 9 extends in the longitudinal direction of the first rod 6.
In another aspect which can be applied in combination with the just mentioned feature the second rod 9 is pivotably connected to the frame 10 at the location of an axle 15 of the wheel or wheels 14. This is not shown in figure 4 and 5, which figures show the embodiment in which there is a fixed connection between the second rod 9 and the frame 10 which arranges for a slight angular displacement of the rod 9 when the frame 10 is lifted from the stops 11 provided on the first rod 6. When the second rod 9 is pivotably connected to the frame 10 at the location of the axle 15 of the wheel or wheels 14, this provides the advantage that the second rod 9 can then always assume an exact vertical orientation when the frame 10 is lifted from the stop 11 or stops of the first rod 6.
In another embodiment shown in figures 7 and 8 which secures very accurate measurement of the weight of the poultry suspended by the legs in the hooks 12 down the second rod 9, the hinge 8 at the far end of the first vertical rod 6 as shown in figures 1 - 5 is avoided. Instead figure 7 and figure 8 show an alternative solution wherein the frame 10 is embodied as a second carriage, and wherein the first rod 6 and/or the sideways extending arm 7 are arranged to restrict downward movement of the entire frame 10 below a predefined position. Also in this embodiment the first rod 6 can be provided with a stop 11 or stops to restrict downward movement of the frame/carriage 10 beyond a point where the stop 11 is or stops are operational.
In this second embodiment the frame 10 or carriage has wheelsets both in front and in rear, wherein an axle 19 of the rear wheel set 18 is guided through a channel 20 of the sideways extending arm 7 at a position distant from the first vertical rod 6, wherein said channel 20 provides room for up and down movement of the axle 19.
The accurate measurement which is enabled in both the first embodiment shown in figures 1-5 and in the second embodiment of figures 7 and 8, is due to the common feature of these embodiments that near or at the sideways extending arm 7 the frame 10 is movable up and down with reference to the first vertical rod 6, wherein the second rod 9 is suspended from said frame 10, and wherein said movability of the frame 10 causes that the second rod 9 is movable up and down whilst the first rod 6 maintains its altitude. Evidently in both embodiments the hook or hooks 12 for suspending the poultry 2 are provided at the lower end 9' of the second rod 9.
In all embodiments it is preferred that there are wheels 14 on opposite sides of the frame 10 and preferably adjacent to the second rod 9, wherein the wheels 14 are mounted on an axle 15 passing through a shaft or bore 16 in the frame 10. A beneficiary feature is that the shaft or bore 16 has convex bottom and top surfaces. The bottom and top surfaces of the shaft or bore preferably each have an apex 17, 17' at the center of the shaft or bore 16 coinciding with a longitudinal body axis of the second rod 9. This enables that the wheels 14 on opposite sides of the frame 10 have room to move to a slightly different level with respect to each other, to match possibly different levels of the supporting surfaces 13' of the weighing scales 13 placed on opposite sides of the track of the conveyor line. This further promotes the accuracy of the weight measurement. Although it is not shown in figure 6 which relates to the first embodiment of figures 1-5, this applies likewise to the axles and wheels in the front and rear of the frame/carriage 10 as shown in figures 7 and 8.
Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the carrier and conveyor line of the invention, the invention is not restricted to this particular embodiment which can be varied in many ways without departing from the invention. The discussed exemplary embodiment shall therefore not be used to construe the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiment is merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to this exemplary embodiment. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using this exemplary embodiment.
