The powder flakes are dropped from the feeding port of the feeding and cutting device 1 and are wound up by the winding roller 3 and the driving structure. After winding up, they are cut off by the feeding and cutting device 1. The circulating conveying mechanism 2 transports the wound up winding roller 3 to the middle position and pauses for a period of time for processing. Then, they are transported to the predetermined position again and are recovered by the recycling mechanism 4. After the powder flakes are recovered, the unwound winding roller 3 is moved to the driving structure for winding up.

A plurality of roller hooks 5 for contacting the ends of the rollers 3 are provided on the empty roller conveying chains 21 and the full roller conveying chains 22. Both ends of the empty roller conveying chain 21 are bent downward close to the full roller conveying chain 22 to form a structure in which the roller hooks 5 located at the bent ends of the empty roller conveying chain 21 can hook with the rollers 3 on the corresponding full roller conveying chains 22 below. The roller hooks 5 are used to drive the rollers 3 to move, and at the same time, they play a limiting role when the driving structure reels the rollers 3, preventing the rollers 3 from rotating and shifting.

[0026] Guide plates 7 are also provided at both ends of the empty roller conveyor chain 21 and the full roller conveyor chain 22, and the guide plates 7 cooperate with the empty roller conveyor chain 21 to form a limiting structure for preventing the winding roller 3 from escaping from the winding roller drag hook 5, and the lower end of the guide plate 7 is bent toward the full roller conveyor chain 22 to the upper side of the two full roller conveyor chains 22 to form a structure for receiving the winding roller 3, and the end of the guide plate 7 facing one end of the full roller conveyor chain 22 is at the same height as the upper side of the full roller conveyor chain 22.

[0027] A transmission gear 32 for meshing with a driving structure is provided at one end of the winding roller 3, and a through groove 33 radially penetrating the winding roller 3 is provided along the length direction of the winding roller 3. In addition, the length of the through groove 33 is shorter than the width between the full roller conveyor chains 22 located at both ends of the winding roller 3, and the through groove 33 is located between the full roller conveyor chains 22 on both sides.

[0028] The driving structure includes a motor 10 mounted on a working frame 9 , and a motor gear for meshing with a transmission gear 32 is provided on an output shaft of the motor 10 .

[0029] A plurality of transmission motors are provided on the working frame 9 for driving the empty roller conveyor chain 21, the full roller conveyor chain 22 and the conveyor belt 23 respectively, and each of the transmission motors is electrically connected to a controller.

[0030] A distance sensor 101 is also provided on the work frame 9, and the distance sensor 101 faces the winding roller 3 and is preset at a fixed distance from the winding roller 3. The distance sensor 101 is also electrically connected to the controller. It is used to detect the thickness of the winding roller 3 when winding, and stop winding when the predetermined thickness is reached and cut the powder sheet for transportation.

[0031] The feeding and cutting device 1 includes a powder sheet aging machine 12, on which a traction machine 11 for transporting powder sheets in the powder sheet aging machine 12 is provided, and the feeding port of the traction machine 11 is located directly above the winding roller 3 at the driving structure position, and a cutting mechanism 6 is also provided between the winding roller 3 and the feeding port of the traction machine 11, and the cutting mechanism 6 is installed on the powder sheet aging machine 12 through a mounting frame.

[0032] The cutting mechanism 6 comprises a fixing frame 64 mounted on the feeding and cutting device 1, a blade 63 is horizontally mounted on the fixing frame 64, and a pressing plate 62 is also mounted on the fixing frame on the opposite side of the blade 63 through a cylinder 61. The pressing plate 62 is driven by the cylinder 61 to press against the blade 63 to cut the powder flakes.

[0033] The recycling mechanism 4 includes an inclined powder sheet conveyor 41, wherein the powder sheet conveyor 41 is located below the end of the conveyor belt 23 toward the lower end, and a powder sheet pressing roller 42 for pressing the powder sheets is also provided on the powder sheet conveyor 41.

[0034] When the present invention is used, the powder sheet is extracted from the powder sheet aging machine 12 of the feeding and cutting device 1, continuously transported by the traction machine 11, and falls from the feeding port of the traction machine 11. Since the feeding port of the traction machine 11 is located directly above the winding roller 3, the powder sheet passes through the through groove 33 of the winding roller 3. The motor 10 drives the transmission gear 32 on the winding roller 3 to rotate through the motor gear to reel the powder sheet on the winding roller 3. At the same time, the winding roller drag hook 5 can limit the winding roller 3 to prevent the winding roller 3 from shifting when rotating and reeling. After the distance sensor 101 detects that the powder sheet on the winding roller 3 is reeled to a specified thickness, the data is transmitted to the controller, and the controller controls the cutting mechanism 6 to drive the pressure plate 62 to press against the blade 63 through the cylinder 61 to cut the powder sheet. At the same time, the transmission motor of the full roller conveyor chain 22 works to make the full roller conveyor chain 22 work, and the winding roller drag hook 5 on the full roller conveyor chain 22 drives the winding roller 3 to disengage from the motor gear to extend the movement of the full roller conveyor chain 22. The cut end of the powder sheet on the roller 3 falls from the two full roller conveyor chains 22 to the conveyor belt 23 due to gravity and is driven to move by the conveyor belt 23. When the roller 3 moves to the middle position of the full roller conveyor chain 22, the conveyor stops and the powder sheet on the roller 3 is processed. After the processing is completed, the full roller conveyor chain 22 continues to transport the roller 3. When the roller 3 moves to the lower end of the guide plate 7, the full roller conveyor chain 22 stops, and the conveyor belt 23 transports the cut end of the powder sheet to the powder sheet conveyor 41, and the powder sheet pressing roller 42 recycles it. After the powder sheet is recycled, the empty roller conveyor chain 21 works to move the roller 3 without carrying the powder sheet to the empty roller conveyor chain 21 through the roller drag hook 5 and the guide plate 7, and the empty roller conveyor chain 21 moves the roller 3 to the driving structure position for the second winding. The present invention can effectively complete multiple processes of powder sheet processing, effectively improve work efficiency, reduce labor costs, and is simple to operate.
