Lifting device designed to lift poultry legs that are transported continuously hanging

摘要

The lifting device 1 configured to lift a poultry leg 9 that is continuously suspended and transported comprises a transport mechanism 11 and a poultry leg lifting mechanism 12. The poultry leg 9 can be suspended by an ankle ball 911 in the poultry carrier 131 of the transport device 11. The poultry leg lifting mechanism 12 has a poultry leg positioning mechanism 70 with one or more positioning elements 71 to 78, 141, wherein the one or more positioning elements are in a weight unloaded state of the poultry carrier 131 In the poultry leg lifting path h, the transported poultry leg 9 with an ankle joint ball 911 is lifted to an elevated ankle ball position. The carrier lifting mechanism 13 is configured to lift each footrest mechanism 31 in the poultry leg lifting mechanism 12 to a suspension height corresponding to the elevated ankle ball position. To this end, the carrier guide mechanism 132 vertically holds the lifting guide member 4 with a dynamically movable lifting guide member 4 and the weight unloading of the poultry carrier 131 executed by lifting of the poultry leg 9. It has a guide bearing mechanism 42 supporting movably. The footrest mechanism 31 is mounted on the poultry carrier 131 so as to be freely movable vertically.
