Abstract

An apparatus for automatic electrical stunning of slaughterhouse animals, especially pigs, uses two electrodes 3, 4 arranged in proximity to each other in a V-shaped passage 7, which is formed between two endless conveyors 1, 2. The electrodes are suspended in a transverse axle 6, which is arranged high above the conveyors, so that the electrodes can be pushed like a pendulum 5 to the side in the transport direction of the animal being stunned, and return to the perpendicular starting position by means of gravity. The electrodes are preferably arranged close to the exit end of the conveyors with a receiving surface 10 low enough to ensure that the stunned animal does not hinder the return movement of the electrodes. <IMAGE>

Description

eleven

The invention relates to a device for automatically stunning livestock, preferably pigs, and can be applied in milk production.

The purpose of the invention is to simplify the design.

Figures 1 and 2 depict a device for automatically enclosing livestock, two projections,,.

The device for automatic cattle trapping — contains two endless conveyors 1 and 2 mounted with the possibility of synchronous and parallel movement, the working surfaces of which are arranged to form a V-shaped passage between them, a current source (not shown), two isolated from one another. electrode 3 and 4, located in the V-shaped passage and, axis 5, mounted above the conveyors 1 and 2, on which the frame 6 is freely suspended with the possibility of contact when it moves with the limit switch 7 of the current source, while Electrodes 3 and 4 are rigidly fixed on the lower end of the frame

6 at B1 1 entrance area of conveyors 1 and 2.

The device works as follows.

The stunned animal, located on the working surfaces of endless conveyors 1 and 2, mounted with the possibility of synchronous and parallel movement, shifts the electrodes 3 and 4, which are rigidly fixed on the lower end of the frame 6, last in contact with the limit switch 7 and the current begins to pass through the animal's head whose value is sufficient for an animal. In this case, the relative displacements of the electrodes and the head of the animal are excluded in the proposed design of the device. The stunned animal from conveyors 1 and 2 enters the receiving conveyor 8, and electrodes 3 and 4, rigidly fixed on the lower end of frame 6, under the action of their own weight of frame 6, freely suspended on axis 5, return to their original position (in V-shaped The path formed by the working surfaces of the conveyors 1 and 2).
