[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic sand-turning machine for sericulture and a method thereof, comprising a mounting frame, a conveying assembly being provided below the mounting frame, a sand-turning assembly and a feeding assembly being fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting frame, a clamping assembly being rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting frame via a bearing, the sand-turning assembly comprising a side plate, a first air pump and a U-shaped block being fixedly mounted on the surface of the side plate, and a driving rack being fixedly mounted on the output end of the first air pump.

[0005] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes a conveying platform A and a conveying platform B. The conveying platform A includes a conveying bracket A, on the surface of which a drive motor is fixedly mounted. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a belt in a rolling manner via a pulley, and on the surface of the belt a disc block is fixedly mounted. The conveying platform B includes a conveying bracket B, on the surface of which a leak-proof plate is fixedly mounted. Here, the disc block can smoothly transport the silkworm tray to the designated position, ensuring that the silkworm tray does not tilt or slide during transportation. The leak-proof plate effectively prevents silkworm sand from spilling during the sand turning process, thereby maintaining a clean working environment.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a fixed box, the outer surface of which is fixedly mounted with a connecting shaft and a second air pump, one end of the connecting shaft is fixedly mounted with a first gear, the output end of the second air pump is fixedly mounted with a push block, the inner surface of the fixed box is fixedly mounted with a fixed shaft and a first sliding rod, the surface of the fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the second gear, the surface of the first sliding rod is slidably connected to a sliding frame, the surface of the sliding frame is fixedly mounted with a connecting frame, the surface of the connecting frame is fixedly mounted with a transmission rack and a clamping plate, the surface of the clamping plate is fixedly mounted with a rubber pad, and the surface of the fixed box is fixedly mounted with a limit frame. Here, the clamping assembly can clamp the silkworm disc to ensure that the silkworm disc is stable and does not shake during the sand-turning process, and the rubber pad can provide additional friction to the silkworm disc to prevent sliding.

[0007] Preferably, the drive rack is meshed with the first gear, and the drive rack is fixed to the U-shaped block, and the connecting shaft is fixed to the bearing. Here, the meshing connection ensures that the drive rack moves more stably and efficiently under the constraints of the U-shaped block, reducing mechanical wear, extending the service life of the equipment, and improving the accuracy of the sand casting.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission rack is meshed with the second gear, and the transmission rack is slidably connected to the limit frame. Here, the second air pump causes the push block to drive the sliding frame, while the limit frame ensures that the transmission rack on the connecting frame precisely meshes with the second gear within a specified range, preventing deviation and ensuring that the clamping plate is tightly attached to the silkworm tray.

[0009] Preferably, the pushing block is fixedly mounted on the sliding frame. Here, the pushing block is driven by the second air pump to drive the sliding frame to move smoothly along the first slide rod, providing a stable clamping force to avoid displacement of the silkworm tray due to vibration.

[0010] Preferably, the loading assembly includes a third air pump and a servo motor. The output end of the third air pump is fixedly mounted with a top plate block. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly mounted with a threaded rod. The surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a movable frame. The surface of the movable frame is fixedly mounted with a plate receiving frame. The surface of the mounting frame is fixedly mounted with a second slide bar. Here, the movable frame is driven by the servo motor to rotate the threaded rod, which drives the movable frame to move precisely along the second slide bar, transporting the silkworm tray to the front of the top plate block. Under the action of the third air pump, the top plate block pushes the silkworm tray into the clamping assembly, completing the loading.

[0011] Preferably, the third air pump and servo motor are fixedly mounted to the mounting frame, and the second slide bar is slidably connected to the movable frame. The provision of the second slide bar ensures that the movable frame, driven by the servo motor, slides smoothly along its surface, thereby improving loading accuracy and stability, reducing manual intervention, optimizing the production process, and improving overall efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, a cleaning assembly is provided at the front end of the conveyor platform B. The cleaning assembly comprises a fixed bar, on the surface of which a spring, a limit rod, and a brush are fixedly mounted. Here, when the surface of the belt becomes uneven, the brush is connected via a spring, and the spring's elasticity can be utilized to automatically adjust the contact position and pressure between the brush and the belt, ensuring that the brush always maintains good contact with the conveyor belt surface, thereby ensuring that residual silkworm excrement on the belt surface is effectively cleaned, preventing impurity accumulation, and improving the belt's service life and operating efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the conveying platform B is fixedly mounted on the spring, and the fixing bar and the limiting rod are slidably connected to the conveying platform B. Here, the fixing bar is constrained by the limiting rod, ensuring that the fixing bar always maintains proper contact with the belt surface under the elastic action of the spring, thereby avoiding excessive wear or incomplete cleaning.

[0015] 1. In the present invention, the anti-plate blocks and belts provided in the conveying assembly can effectively support and convey the silkworm discs, ensuring that they are stable and do not tilt during the conveying process. The leak-proof plates provided can effectively prevent the leakage of silkworm sand and keep the working environment clean. The synergistic effect of the clamping assembly and the sand-turning assembly can achieve precise clamping and efficient sand-turning of the silkworm discs, reduce manual operation errors, and improve production efficiency and silk quality.

[0016] 2. In the present invention, the servo motor, receiving tray rack, third air pump and top tray block provided in the feeding assembly can accurately position and push the silkworm tray, ensuring an efficient and smooth feeding process, reducing the need for manual assistance and lowering labor intensity.

[0017] 3. In the present invention, the brush provided in the cleaning component can effectively remove the silkworm grit remaining on the belt surface to avoid the accumulation of impurities. The spring and limit rod provided can keep the fixed bar in proper contact with the belt surface, which has a good cleaning effect on the silkworm grit remaining on the belt surface.
