Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of basket turning equipment technology, and more particularly to a basket pushing device and basket turning machine for earthworm culture medium. Background Technology

[0002] Earthworms are saprophytic animals that live in moist environments and feed on decaying organic matter. They can be used not only as animal protein feed but also to improve soil fertility and process household waste. The humic acid in earthworm castings is produced after earthworms digest organic matter. Compared to the humic acid in general organic fertilizers, the humic acid in earthworm castings is more easily absorbed by plants. As a byproduct of earthworm farming, earthworm castings can be used as bio-fertilizer, feed ingredient, and deodorizer in livestock farms, demonstrating significant application value. Currently, the production of earthworm culture media generally suffers from low mechanization levels, inconvenient operation, and short equipment lifespans. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a basket-pushing device for earthworm culture medium includes a main frame 1, a basket-feeding mechanism 2, and a basket-pushing mechanism 3. A first support 11 is provided on one side of the main frame 1. The basket-feeding mechanism 2, used for conveying baskets, is mounted on the first support 11. The basket-feeding mechanism 2 uses a chain to convey the baskets, and the chain on one side of the basket-feeding mechanism 2 is connected to and driven by a basket-feeding motor 21. That is, the basket-feeding mechanism 2 consists of two basket-feeding motors 21 driving two chains respectively, and they are respectively arranged opposite each other on both sides of the basket-pushing mechanism 3. The basket-pushing mechanism 3 is mounted on the first support 11 and is connected to the basket-feeding mechanism. 2. In conjunction with each other, the basket pushing mechanism 3 includes a drive assembly 31, a basket pushing track 32, a basket pushing body 33 sleeved on the basket pushing track 32, and a clamping mechanism 34 elastically connected to the basket pushing body 33. The drive assembly 31 and the basket pushing track 32 are respectively disposed on the bottom surface and the top surface of the first support 11. One end of the basket pushing body 33 is connected to the drive assembly 31 so that the drive assembly 31 drives the basket pushing body 33 to perform linear reciprocating motion on the basket pushing track 32. When the drive assembly 31 is in the extended state, the clamping mechanism 34 clamps the basket. When the drive assembly 31 is in the retracted state... At this time, the clamping mechanism 34 pushes the material basket to the next process. The clamping mechanism 34 includes a movable folding plate 341 and a backstop plate 342. The basket pushing body 33 includes a traveling mechanism 331 and a guide frame 332. The traveling mechanism 331 and the guide frame 332 are connected and both are mounted on the basket pushing track 32. The guide frame 332 is connected to the drive assembly 31. The traveling mechanism 331 has symmetrically arranged connecting plates 35 on both sides. The traveling mechanism 331 includes a traveling seat 3311, a traveling frame 3312, and a support plate 3313. The traveling seat 3311 consists of two... Symmetrically arranged and fitted onto the push basket track 32, the two ends of the walking frame 3312 are respectively provided with a first sprocket 3314 and a second sprocket 3315. A rotating chain 3316 is provided between the first sprocket 3314 and the second sprocket 3315. The rotating chain 3316 is provided with a first locking plate 3317 that is engaged with the first bracket 11 and a second locking plate 3318 that is connected to the drive assembly 31. The first locking plate 3317 is located close to the first sprocket 3314. The two ends of the support plate 3313 are respectively connected to the walking seat 3311 and the second locking plate 3318.

[0032] The basket-pushing device for earthworm culture medium of the present invention has the following structure: when the basket is conveyed by the basket-feeding mechanism 2 and passes through the basket-pushing mechanism 3, the front side of the basket presses down the movable folding plate 341 in the clamping mechanism 34 and passes over the movable folding plate 341 until the basket has completely passed the movable folding plate 341. Then, the elastic member 36 between the clamping mechanism 34 and the connecting plate 35 pulls up the movable folding plate 341 and clamps the basket. Then, the drive assembly 31 drives the movable folding plate 341 to move on the basket-pushing track 32, pushing the basket to the next process. This greatly improves the stability of the basket-pushing process and the degree of automation of the equipment, and is easy to operate. Furthermore, the basket-pushing body 33 is also provided with a chain drive mechanism for auxiliary movement and a guide frame 332 sleeved on the basket-pushing track 32, which further improves the stability of the basket-pushing process, thereby reducing the relative friction between the basket-pushing body 33 and the basket-pushing track 32 and improving the service life of the basket-pushing device.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the clamping mechanism 34 includes a movable folding plate 341 and a stop plate 342. The movable folding plate 341 includes a connecting part 3411 and a clamping part 3412 connected at a predetermined angle. The clamping part 3412 is used to push the material basket. The bottom end of the stop plate 342 is connected to the traveling seat 3311, and the top end of the stop plate 342 is engaged with the connecting part 3411. That is, the stop plate 342 is provided with a connecting protrusion, and the connecting part 3411 is provided with a connecting groove that matches the connecting protrusion. An elastic element 36 is provided between the stop plate 342 and the connecting plate 35. The elastic element 36 is a high-strength spring. It should be understood that the stop plate 342 and the connecting plate 35 are respectively provided with a first inclined surface 34 that cooperates with each other. 21 and the second inclined surface 351, wherein the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 3421 is in the range of 38 to 45 degrees, and the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 351 is in the range of 35 to 40 degrees. In the specific design, the acute inclination angle of the second inclined surface 351 is designed to be greater than the acute inclination angle of the first inclined surface 3421, and in combination with the angle between the connecting part 3411 and the tightening part 3412 in the movable folding plate 341, so that the movable folding plate 341 generates the optimal pushing angle when it is in the tightening state, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the pushing basket device during the pushing process. When the movable folding plate 341 is in the tightening state, the high-strength spring is not under force and is in a free extension and contraction state, thereby improving the service life of the high-strength spring.

[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the angle between the connecting part 3411 and the tightening part 3412 is α, where α ranges from 10 to 20 degrees, and the length ratio between the connecting part 3411 and the tightening part 3412 is 1:(1.5 to 2). In the basket pushing device of the present invention, the angle between the connecting part 3411 and the tightening part 3412 is preferably 15 degrees, and the length ratio between them is preferably 1:1.8. The selection of the above two values ​​reduces the design space of the movable folding plate 341 on the one hand, and allows the movable folding plate 341 to work with the anti-reverse plate 342 to generate the best pushing angle between them, thereby greatly reducing the energy consumption of the driving component 31 during the basket pushing process and reducing the design cost of the device.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the movable folding plate 341 is provided with at least one through hole, wherein there are two through holes, and the lower end of each through hole extends into the interior of the connecting part 3411 by a predetermined distance. This structural design ensures the structural strength of the top clamping part 3412 while reducing the mass of the movable folding plate 341, thereby reducing the energy consumption required during the movement of the basket pushing mechanism 3.

[0036] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the drive assembly 31 includes a drive cylinder 311 and an L-shaped connector 312. The drive cylinder 311 is located on the bottom surface of the first bracket 11. The top end of the piston rod of the drive cylinder 311 is connected to the bottom end of the L-shaped connector 312. The top end of the L-shaped connector 312 is connected to the walking frame 3312 and the guide frame 332 respectively, so that the driving cylinder 311 drives the walking frame 3312 and the guide frame 332 to move, thereby completing the movable folding plate 341 to push the basket to the next process.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a basket-turning machine for earthworm culture medium includes a basket-pushing device.

After passing through the first bracket 11, the lower end is fixed on the lifting plate 52 and moves up and down with the lifting plate 52. The height of the lifting cylinder 53 in the lifting state is the first predetermined height. It should be understood that during the process of the lifting mechanism 5 lifting the basket, the movable folding plate 341 is always pressed against the basket and rotates at a predetermined angle in the direction toward the connecting plate 35. That is, the first inclined surface 3421 and the second inclined surface 351 are in abutting state. With the structure of the movable folding plate 341, the movable folding plate 341 can generate the best pushing angle in the pressed state.

The second lifting plate 623 is provided with a plurality of lifting guide rods 626 arranged in a square array to assist the movement of the lifting cylinder 625. The bottom end of the lifting guide rod 626 passes through the first lifting plate 622.

[0040] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the clamping and turning mechanism 7 includes a turning frame 71 mounted on the main frame 1, a clamping plate 72 mounted on the turning frame 71, and a turning motor 73 fixed on the main frame 1 for driving the turning frame 71 to rotate. The turning motor 73 drives the turning frame 71 to rotate via chain drive. The clamping plate 72 has clamping cylinders 74 on both sides perpendicular to the turning direction for clamping the basket. The telescopic end of the clamping cylinder 74 is provided with a clamping plate 75, and a pad 76 is provided between the clamping plate 72 and the clamping plate 75. Each clamping cylinder 74 has a clamping guide rod 77 symmetrically arranged on both sides and fixed on the clamping plate 72, and an auxiliary guide rod 78 located between the clamping guide rod 77 and the clamping cylinder 74. The top end of the clamping guide rod 77 is embedded in the pad 76, and the tail end of the clamping guide rod 77 passes through the clamping plate 72. The top end of the auxiliary guide rod 78 is connected to the clamping plate 75, and a first spring 79 is sleeved on the auxiliary guide rod 78 between the two. The tail end of the auxiliary guide rod 78 passes through the clamping plate 72.

[0041] like Figure 12 As shown, the main frame 1 is equipped with a stop mechanism 9, which is located between the basket-moving mechanism 4 and the lifting mechanism 62. This mechanism prevents the basket from over-stopping during its movement to the main frame 1. The stop mechanism 9 includes a stop plate 91, a stop cylinder 92, a stop guide plate 93, a stop spring 94, and a stop detector 95. The stop plate 91 is fixed to the main frame 1, and the stop cylinder 92 is fixed to the stop plate 91 with the top of its extension rod facing the ground.
