Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for removing a broiler from an overhead sorting conveyor in a controlled manner and an apparatus capable of removing a broiler from an overhead shackle conveyer.
  • the broilers In a slaughterhouse for broilers, the broilers are hanging from their legs on a shackle mounted on an overhead conveyor. The broilers are transported through the slaughter house by various overhead conveyors (one for each department), and the broilers are weighed on a transfer/rehanging module. After transferring the birds to the overhead sorting conveyor, the quality of each individual broiler is determined by the use of cameras.
  • the broilers are destined for either cut-up or whole bird packing.
  • the whole birds are likewise divided according to weight and quality.
  • the overhead sorting conveyor and related drop stations is controlled by a master sys tem collecting data of the different broilers such as quality, weight, and position on the overhead sorting conveyor.
  • An overhead sorting conveyor may have a speed up to 250 birds/min. All the above- mentioned characteristics must be measured without slowing down the overhead sort ing conveyor.
  • the broilers must be removed without slowing down the overhead sorting conveyor. This is presently done using a pusher, which is activated by the master con- trol system having a broiler position registered per broiler. The broiler position is based on the registered measured data and the speed of the overhead sorting conveyor, and thus the broiler position is not sufficiently exact.
  • a wide collection chute is placed under each drop station on the overhead sorting conveyor for collection of the broilers before bagging and packing. The broiler will tumble randomly due to the way they are pushed-off the shackle and the drop dis tance, to the chute. A feeding operator will pick up the broiler from the collection chute and feed it one by one into the packaging machine.
  • An object of the invention is achieved by a method for removing a broiler from an overhead sorting conveyor in a controlled manner enabling feeding to a packaging machine.
  • the method comprises acts of:
  • the pusher and the gripper are positioned on opposite sides of the overhead sorting conveyor.
  • the act of pushing will thus cause the broiler to move towards the gripper which can then grip the broiler.
  • the skilled person would know how to calibrate the pusher and gripper such that the gripper grips with a delay relative to the push from the pusher in order to catch the broiler.
  • the broiler will hang from a shackle by the legs, and the pusher may be adapted for pushing the broiler legs for releasing the broiler from the shackle.
  • the gripper may be adapted for griping the broiler legs as described later in the description.
  • the broiler is released from the gripper when the kinetic energy has been removed from the broiler, this may be done by releasing after a delay. However, the movement of the broiler could also be measured using one or more sensors.
  • the system secures that the broiler keeps the same orientation from shackle to gripper, unlike the prior art where the orientation after release is random.
  • the broilers are re-moved from the overhead sorting conveyor in a controlled manner as the broil ers will always face the same direction, and this enables a faster feeding of the pack aging machine. Even if the feeding to a packaging machine is still performed manual ly. It is estimated that the packing speed can be increased to 15-18 broilers/min.
  • the broiler will be moving at a high speed, and thus the gripper may be positioned slightly downstream relative to the pusher to compensate from the momentum of the broiler in the direction of the overhead sorting conveyor.
  • the method may further comprise an act of
  • the master system has a broiler position associated with each broiler, however, de pending on the precision of the broiler position, the method may need additional data related to the broiler position.
  • the precision of the actual shackle position can vary from the broiler position according to the master sys tem, and the method may need more precise date regarding the actual broiler position in order to remove the broiler in a controlled manner.
  • the sensor upstream relative to the pusher enables detecting the broiler with the associated broiler position with a greater precision.
  • the master system data in combination with the sensor up stream provides an adjusted shackle position with a greater precision.
  • the sensor used may be a photocell or laser sensor or alternative a high-speed camera.
  • the increased precision of the broiler position on the overhead shackle conveyor low ers the risk of the pusher missing the broiler, and/or the gripper not gripping the bird.
  • the sensor may even be a piezoelectric sensor, however, a non-contact sensor is pre ferred.
  • the method may further comprise an act of
  • the act of feeding may be performed by releasing the broiler into a narrow chute lead ing to a buffer in front of a packaging machine.
  • the narrow chute is designed to pre vent rotation of the broiler.
  • the packing speed can be increased to around 30 broilers/min, without any manual labor, and thereby decreasing the risk of contamination and lowering the pro duction costs.
  • the narrow chute may be an U-shaped narrow chute.
  • the method can in theory supply 50-100 broilers per minute to a packaging machine if the packaging machine has the required capacity.
  • the pusher and the gripper supply broilers in a controlled manner to two or more packagingmachines. Thereby the total volume of the system can be reduced.
  • An object of the invention is achieved by an apparatus having a pusher and a gripper and means adapted to execute the acts of the method previously described.
  • An object of the invention is achieved by an apparatus for removing a broiler from an overhead sorting conveyor.
  • the apparatus comprises:
  • controller adapted for receiving a broiler position of a broiler from a master system and adapted for activating the pusher and gripper based on the broiler position.
  • the controller ensures the pusher pushes the broiler at the correct time based on the broiler position, and that the gripper grips the broiler at a time delayed relative to the pusher.
  • the gripper will grip the broiler and hold the grip for a time period such that the kinetic energy is removed from the broiler.
  • the broiler is moved from the overhead sorting conveyor moving at a speed of 250 broilers/min to a stationary posi tion at the gripper.
  • the release from the gripper will be in a controlled manner such that broiler always have the same orientation, and this enable faster feeding to a pack aging machine even when the feeding is done by manual labor.
  • the 250 broilers/min is equivalent to a broiler passing a point on the overhead sorting conveyor every 240 ms or about 4 broiler through a point each second.
  • the apparatus can remove broilers at random without receiving information from the master system, as the pusher and the gripper can push and grip without the master system.
  • the pusher and the gripper can push and grip without the master system.
  • the pusher may be a well-known pusher for pushing the broiler of a shackle.
  • Many of the known pushers comprise a push head arranged for pushing the ankles of the broiler.
  • the pusher may be powered by pneumatics or servo motor or hydraulics.
  • the broilers hang from shackles with an orientation which is substantially parallel with gravitation vector. Tests have however shown that the known pushers pushing the ankles of the broiler causes the broiler to have a more horizontal orientation as the pushing on the ankles causes the broiler to rotate while moving towards the gripper.
  • the rotation can be counter acted by the pusher comprising a substantially T-shaped push head, where the push head have a downwardly extending flange for engaging the main body, typically the breast part, of the broiler.
  • the broiler is pushed at the ankles and at the main body, and this counter-acts the rotation of the broiler, and as a consequence, the broiler is pushed off the shackle while having an orientation which is substantially parallel with gravitation vector.
  • the pusher may comprise a curved pusher body having pusher guide allowing the pusher to move in a more reliable matter along said pusher guide.
  • the pusher may be controlled by pneumatics or a motor which will cause the curved pusher body in a direction defined by the pusher guide.
  • the pusher may comprise a main pusher head connected to the curved pusher body. The main pusher head is adapted to push broiler legs such that the broiler is pushed off a shackle.
  • the pusher may comprise one, two or more body pusher heads for pushing the body off the broiler.
  • the curved pusher body is curved to ensure that the main pusher head pushes the broiler legs first or at least at the same time as the body pusher heads. This enables the broiler to be pushed from the shackle without changing the orientation of the broiler by also pushing the body of the broiler.
  • the pusher may be made of stainless steel or be made of composite material.
  • the composite material has a lower weight enabling faster movement of the pusher.
  • the apparatus may further comprise a sensor positioned upstream relative to the pusher for detecting the broiler with the broiler position, and the sensor is in communication with the controller, which is adapted for adjusting the broiler position based on sensor data.
  • the sensor decreases the uncertainty of the broiler position, and thus the pusher and gripper can be controlled such that stray pushes are prevented.
  • a stray push is under stood as a push which completely misses, this is a rare event for known pushes, or where the push is slightly too soon or slightly too late causing the broiler to make un wanted movement causing the gripper to miss the grip, or causes the gripper to only catch a single leg.
  • the sensor increases the reliability of the apparatus and thus also the package speed.
  • the sensor may be a photo sensor or a laser sensor or camera such as a high-speed camera.
  • the sensor may be a piezo-electric sensor although it is preferred that the sensor is a non-touch sensor.
  • the gripper may comprise:
  • leg guides for guiding the broiler legs, at least one of the leg guides comprises
  • first and a second arm extending from a pivotal end towards a distal end, wherein the first and/or the second arm are pivotal between an open position and a catch posi tion, wherein the arms form a channel for guiding the broiler legs towards the pivotal end.
  • leg guides The purpose of the leg guides is to grip a right and a left leg broiler leg, respectfully.
  • the distal end of the first and second arms in the open position are far apart to allow the broiler legs to move in between and the first and second arms form the channel in the catch position wherein the distal ends are closer relative to the open position.
  • the channel is adapted for preventing the broiler leg ankle to move through the chan nel while allowing the broiler leg to move along the channel towards the pivotal end.
  • both the leg grippers may comprise a first and a second arm ex tending from a pivotal end towards a distal end, wherein the first and/or the second arm are pivotal between an open position and a catch position, wherein the arms form a channel for guiding the broiler legs towards the pivotal end.
  • the first and second arms may have, when being in the catch position, a mutual dis tance being smaller than the width of the channel to prevent blow-back of the broiler.
  • the first and second arm may have convex surfaces facing the opposite arm, the con vex surfaces reduces friction and decreases the risk of damaging the broiler legs such as cutting the skin near the ankles.
  • the leg guides may be controlled by the use of pneumatics or servo motor.
  • the leg guides may be controlled by the use of hydraulics.
  • Each of the arms of both leg guides may have a gear at the pivotal end interconnected with the other gears of the other arms such that the arms move synchronously, which makes the gripper easier to control.
  • Each guide may have a member extending from one of the gears in a direction sub stantially opposite to the arms, wherein each member is interconnected by a linear actuator controlling the movement of each arm.
