Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material loading equipment technology, and more particularly to a basket loading machine for earthworm culture material. 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 process of earthworm culture media generally suffers from low mechanization levels and inconvenient operation, resulting in low efficiency in filling culture media baskets and significantly limiting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, this invention provides an earthworm culture medium filling machine, comprising: a base 1, on which are arranged sequentially a basket feeding station 11, a feeding station 12, and a basket moving station 13 on the same horizontal plane; the basket feeding station 11 is provided with a basket feeding mechanism 2 and a basket pushing mechanism 3 that cooperate with each other; the feeding station 12 is provided with a conveying guide rail group 4, and the outer surface of the conveying guide rail group 4 is provided with a vertically staggered transmission block 41; a feeding mechanism 5 is provided above the feeding station 12; and a basket moving mechanism 6 is provided at the basket moving station 13. The basket feeding mechanism 2 uses a chain to convey the baskets 14, and uses a single-sided chain connected to and driven by a basket feeding motor 21, that is, the chains on both sides of the basket feeding mechanism 2 are driven by two basket feeding motors 21 and are respectively located on the basket pushing mechanism. The two sides of the structure 3 are arranged opposite each other. The basket transfer mechanism 6 is a basket transfer motor 61 that drives the chains on both sides to transfer the basket 14 after filling. The conveying guide rail group 4 is driven by the basket transfer motor 61. The feeding station 12 is equipped with a basket clamping mechanism 8. The basket clamping mechanism 8 includes a slide rail group 81, a basket clamping assembly 82 and a conveying mechanism 83, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying guide rail group 4. Each slide rail group 81 is fitted with a basket clamping assembly 82. The conveying mechanism 83 is arranged on the basket clamping assembly 82 and works in conjunction with the transmission block 41 to move the basket 14 from the feeding station 12 to the basket transfer station 13. Each slide rail group 81 includes two guide bars arranged side by side to keep the basket clamping assembly 82 in good balance and stability when it performs linear reciprocating motion.

[0031] This invention discloses an earthworm culture material filling machine. An empty material basket 14 is transferred from the feeding station 11 to the feeding station 12 via the feeding mechanism 2 and the pushing mechanism 3. The empty material basket 14 is then clamped by the clamping mechanism 8. Subsequently, the feeding mechanism 5 descends to a position matching the empty material basket 14. The empty material basket 14 moves towards the moving mechanism 6 under the combined action of the conveying mechanism 83 and the moving motor 61. At the same time, the feeding mechanism 5 feeds the empty material basket 14. After feeding is completed, the material basket 14 is moved to the moving station 13 and transferred to the next station by the moving mechanism 6. The clamping mechanism 8 returns to the feeding station 12 for the next feeding operation. When the material basket 14 is filled with material and is sent to the moving station 13, the cleaning mechanism 9 cleans the remaining material on the edge of the material basket 14 into the hopper 10 for recycling. The filling machine of this invention has a reasonable structural design, is easy to operate, has a high degree of automation, and greatly improves the filling efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 11As shown, a lifting mechanism 7 is provided on the base 1. The lifting mechanism 7 includes a first lifting component 71 fixed on the base 1 and located at a predetermined distance below the basket feeding station 11, and a second lifting component 72 located on the base 1 and located at a predetermined distance below the feeding station 12. The first lifting component 71 and the second lifting component 72 are arranged side by side and have the same structure. They are raised to the same height. The first lifting component 71 is used to lift the basket 14 located above it to a first predetermined height. The second lifting component 72 moves in coordination with the first lifting component 72. That is, when the first lifting component 71 is raised, the second lifting component 72 is also raised to the first predetermined height. When the basket 14 is at the first predetermined height, the basket 14 is disengaged from the basket feeding mechanism 2, and the basket pushing mechanism 3 pushes the basket 14 from the first... The lifting assembly 71 is pushed onto the second lifting assembly 72. It should be understood that the first lifting assembly 71 includes a fixed plate 711, a lifting plate 712, a lifting cylinder 713, and a lifting guide rail assembly 714. The fixed plate 711 is located on the base 1 at a predetermined distance below the basket feeding station 11. The lifting plate 712 is located above the fixed plate 711, and the two are movably connected by a lifting guide rod 715. The lower end of the lifting guide rod 715 passes through the fixed plate 711, and its upper end is connected to the lifting plate 714. The lifting cylinder 713 is fixed on the fixed plate 711, and the push rod of the lifting cylinder 713 is connected to the lifting plate 712. The lower end of the lifting guide rail assembly 714 is fixed on the lifting plate 712 and moves up and down with the lifting plate 712. The height of the lifting cylinder 713 in the lifting state is the first predetermined height.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the basket clamping assembly 82 includes a traveling seat 821 sleeved on the slide rail assembly 81, a basket clamping cylinder 822 located at the top of the traveling seat 821, and a clamping plate 823 connected to the telescopic rod of the basket clamping cylinder 822. The basket clamping cylinder 822 is provided with auxiliary guide rods 824 on both sides. The traveling seat 821 has an installation groove on the side facing the basket 14. One end of the auxiliary guide rod 824 is connected to the clamping plate 823, and the other end is inserted into the traveling seat 821. After the empty basket 14 moves to the predetermined position of the second lifting assembly 72, the basket clamping cylinder 822 extends and clamps the basket 14 through the clamping plate 823. Then, the lifting cylinder 713 in the second lifting assembly 72 retracts, so that the basket 14 falls on the conveying guide rail assembly 4 and the feeding mechanism 5 descends to the predetermined position. Then, the conveying guide rail assembly 4 drives the basket 14 to move while the feeding mechanism 5 feeds the basket 14.

[0034] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the conveying mechanism 83 includes a conveying cylinder 831 and a baffle 832. The conveying cylinder 831 is mounted on the traveling seat 821, and the telescopic end of the conveying cylinder 831 passes through the traveling seat 821 and extends into the mounting groove. The baffle 832 is located in the mounting groove and is connected to the telescopic end of the conveying cylinder 831. When the conveying cylinder 831 is in the retracted state, the baffle 832 abuts against the upper transmission block 41, and when the clamping plate 823 clamps the material basket 14, it is conveyed by the conveying guide rail assembly 4. The moving seat 821 moves along the slide rail assembly 81 in the direction toward the basket transfer mechanism 6. When the conveying cylinder 831 is extended, the baffle 832 abuts against the lower transmission block 41. After the clamping plate 823 releases the material basket 14, the moving seat 821 is driven to move along the slide rail assembly 81 in the direction toward the basket delivery mechanism 2 via the conveying guide rail assembly 4. The basket clamping assembly 82 and the baffle 832 still maintain synchronous movement with the conveying guide rail assembly 4 when the material basket 14 is subjected to external resistance during loading and moving.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 9As shown, 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 are respectively located on the bottom and top surfaces of the basket feeding station 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. The drive assembly 31 is a drive cylinder. When the drive assembly 31 is in the extended state, the clamping mechanism 34 clamps the basket 14. When the drive assembly 31 is in the retracted state, the clamping mechanism 34 pushes the basket 14 to the next process. It should be understood that the clamping mechanism 34 includes a movable folding plate 3. 41 and anti-reverse plate 342, movable folding plate 341 includes connecting part 3411 and tightening part 3412 connected at a predetermined angle, push basket body 33 includes walking mechanism 331 and guide frame 332, walking mechanism 331 and guide frame 332 are connected and both are sleeved on push basket track 32, wherein guide frame 332 is connected to drive assembly 31, and symmetrically arranged connecting plates 35 are provided on both sides of walking mechanism 331. Walking mechanism 331 includes sliding seat 3311, walking frame 3312 and support plate 3313. Sliding seat 3311 is two symmetrically arranged and sleeved on push basket track 32. The two ends of walking frame 3312 are respectively provided with first sprocket 3314 and second sprocket 3315. A rotating chain is provided between the first sprocket 314 and the second sprocket 3315. The rotating chain has a first clamping plate that engages with the basket feeding station 11 and a second clamping plate that connects to the drive assembly 31. The first clamping plate is positioned close to the first sprocket 3314. Both ends of the support plate 3313 are connected to the sliding seat 3311 and the second clamping plate, respectively. The anti-reverse plate 342 and the connecting plate 35 are elastically connected by a high-strength spring 36. The anti-reverse plate 342 and the connecting plate 35 are respectively provided with a first inclined surface 3421 and a second inclined surface 351 that cooperate with each other. The inclination angle of the first inclined surface 3421 ranges from 38 to 45 degrees, and the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 351 ranges from 35 to 40 degrees. In the specific design, the second inclined surface... The acute angle of the inclined surface 351 is designed to be greater than that of the first inclined surface 3421, and in conjunction with the angle between the connecting part 3411 and the tightening part 3412 in the movable folding plate 341, the movable folding plate 341 generates the optimal pushing angle when it is in the tightened state, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the basket pushing device during the pushing process. When the movable folding plate 341 is in the tightened state, the high-strength spring 36 is not under force and is in a free extension and contraction state, thus improving the service life of the high-strength spring 36. The angle between the connecting part 3411 and the tightening part 3412 in the movable folding plate 341 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, on the one hand, reduces the design space of the movable folding plate 341, and on the other hand, allows the movable folding plate 341 to work with the anti-reverse plate 342 to achieve the optimal pushing angle, thereby greatly reducing the energy consumption of the drive component 31 during the basket pushing process and reducing the design cost of the device.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 5 includes a storage hopper 51 and a moving hopper 52 located on the top surface of the base 1. The moving hopper 52 is located on the base 1 and between the storage hopper 51 and the feeding station 12. The moving hopper 52 can move up and down relative to the material basket 14 in the vertical direction via the tray assembly 53 to feed the material basket 14. A feeding cylinder is provided below the moving hopper 52 to drive the locking plate to feed or stop feeding. A probe rod 54 is provided in the moving hopper 52. The tray assembly 53 includes a tray motor, a cam lifting connecting rod driven by the chain of the tray motor, and a linear guide rail on the base 1. There are two sets of cam lifting connecting rods, which are respectively connected to the two sides of the moving hopper 52. The bottom end of the moving hopper 52 is connected to the linear guide rail, and the moving hopper 52 moves up and down in the vertical direction by the rotation of the tray motor. A stirrer 55 is provided in the moving hopper 52 to prevent the material in the hopper from accumulating and causing blockage in the moving hopper 52 when no feeding is being done.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a hopper 10 located below the first lifting component 71, which is used to receive the excess material at the edge of the material basket 14 and recycle it.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a cleaning mechanism 9 is provided on the base 1. The cleaning mechanism 9 is located between the basket moving mechanism 6 and the feeding mechanism 5. The cleaning mechanism 9 is driven by the cleaning motor 91 gear transmission to rotate the cleaning roller 93 located below the cleaning seat 92, so as to clean the remaining material on the top surface of the material basket 14 after feeding into the funnel 10.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, a stop mechanism 15 is provided on the base 1. The stop mechanism 15 is located between the second lifting component 72 and the basket moving mechanism 6. It is used to prevent the basket 14 from stopping too much during the process of being pushed to the second lifting component 72. The stop mechanism 15 includes a stop plate 151, a stop cylinder 152, a stop guide plate 153, a stop spring 154, and a stop detector 155. The stop plate is fixed on the base 1. The stop cylinder is fixed on the stop plate and the top of the stop cylinder extension rod is set towards the ground. The lower end of the stop guide plate is connected to the top of the stop cylinder extension rod and completes the interception or release of the basket 14 with the extension and retraction of the stop cylinder. There are two stop springs and their two ends are connected to the stop guide plate and the stop plate respectively. When the stop cylinder is in the retracted state, the stop spring is in a free state without force. The stop detector is connected to the cylinder through a bracket to detect the positioning status of the stop guide frame.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the usage process of the crate packing machine of the present invention is as follows: 1. The crate delivery mechanism 2 delivers the empty crate 14 to the crate delivery station 11; 2. The first lifting assembly 71 and the second lifting assembly 72 are raised simultaneously. At this time, the telescopic rod of the stop cylinder 152 is retracted so that the stop guide plate 153 is raised to block the material basket 14. The first lifting assembly 71 lifts the material basket 14 and separates it from the basket feeding mechanism 2, so that the material basket 14 is mounted on the first lifting assembly 71. 3. The pushing mechanism 3 presses the basket 14 against the first lifting component 71 and pushes it to the predetermined position of the second lifting component 72. At the same time, the moving hopper 52 descends to a predetermined height that matches the basket 14. Then, the first lifting component 71 and the second lifting component 72 descend simultaneously, and the pushing mechanism 3 returns to its original position. The telescopic rod of the stop cylinder 152 extends and drives the stop guide rod 153 to descend. 4. The clamping assembly 82 clamps the material basket 14 and, through the cooperation of the transmission block 41 and the stop block 832 on the upper side of the conveying guide rail assembly 4, moves the material basket 14 toward the basket moving mechanism 6. At the same time as the material basket 14 moves, the moving hopper 52 is activated and the material basket 14 is fed. 5. After the material basket 14 passes the stop mechanism 15, the feeding work is completed. The moving hopper 52 rises, the clamping assembly 82 releases the material basket 14, and then the conveying cylinder 831 extends so that the stop block 832 cooperates with the transmission block 41 on the lower side. The material basket 14 filled with material is conveyed to the basket moving mechanism 6 through the conveying guide rail group 4. At the same time, the stop block 832 drives the clamping assembly 82 to return to its original position, that is, the second lifting assembly 72. Then the basket loading machine enters the next basket loading cycle. 6. When the material basket 14 filled with material passes through the cleaning mechanism 9, the cleaning mechanism 9 sweeps the remaining material on the edge of the material basket 14 into the hopper 10.
