DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the devices or elements indicated to have a particular orientation, to be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0047] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "mounting", "connection", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1-10 , wherein Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the lotus fiber extraction device, the lotus fiber extraction device provided in the embodiment comprises:

[0049] Lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1, the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1 is used for fixing the lotus stem 100 to be extracted;

[0050] Lotus stem breaking and winding mechanism 2, the lotus stem breaking and winding mechanism 2 comprises a first clamping mechanism 21, the first clamping mechanism 21 is movably and rotatably arranged, the first clamping mechanism 21 can be moved close to the end of the lotus stem 100 clamped and fixed on the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1, and the lotus stem 100 is broken and the lotus silk is wound on the first clamping mechanism 21; and

[0051] Lotus silk grabbing mechanism 3, the lotus silk grabbing mechanism 3 comprises a second clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 31 is movably arranged, the second clamping mechanism 31 can be moved close to the first clamping mechanism 21, and the lotus silk wound on the first clamping mechanism 21 is clamped.

[0052] It can be understood that, as Figure 2 shown, it is Figure 1 an enlarged schematic view of part A in the middle, showing the cooperation relationship between the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1 and the lotus stem breaking and winding mechanism 2, the lotus stem is fixed through the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1, then the lotus stem breaking and winding mechanism 2 moves close to the lotus stem, the end of the lotus stem is clamped through the first clamping mechanism 21, and the lotus stem is broken and the lotus silk is wound on the first clamping mechanism 21.

[0053] In the embodiment, a mounting platform 300 is further included, the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1, the lotus stem breaking and winding mechanism 2 and the lotus silk grabbing mechanism 3 are arranged on the mounting platform 300. For the design of the mounting platform 300, those skilled in the art can design according to the existing technology and actual needs, and can set up a moving mechanism such as a universal wheel according to actual needs, so that the whole device can move, facilitating flexible use, and more details will not be described here.

[0054] In the embodiment, asFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the installation platform 300 is provided with a lotus branch recycling port 301; the installation platform 300 is provided with a push-out mechanism 302, which is used to push out the lotus branch on the lotus branch pressing and fixing mechanism 1 and drop it into the lotus branch recycling port 301.

[0055] It is understandable that the ejection mechanism 302 mainly uses telescopic components to push the lotus branches on the lotus branch pressing and fixing mechanism 1 to fall off. The telescopic components can be conventional components such as cylinders or electric telescopic rods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] It is understandable that the main purpose of the lotus root pressing and fixing mechanism 1 is to be able to flexibly press and fix the lotus root branch to be drawn each time. Those skilled in the art can use conventional pressing mechanisms in the prior art.

[0057] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the lotus branch pressing and fixing mechanism provided in this embodiment. It mainly includes a placement platform 11, a pressing member 12, and a driving member 13. The placement platform 11 is mounted on the mounting platform 300. The pressing member 12 is swayably mounted on the mounting platform 300. The driving member 13 is mounted on the mounting platform 300, and its output end is connected to the pressing member 12. The driving member 13 drives the pressing member 12 to sway and press against the placement platform 11, thereby pressing the lotus branch placed on the placement platform 11. It can also be understood that, to ensure the fixing effect, a groove can be provided on the placement platform 11 for placing the lotus branch. Further details can be understood and expanded upon by those skilled in the art in conjunction with the description in this embodiment, and will not be further elaborated here.

[0058] It is understood that in this embodiment, both the first clamping mechanism 21 and the second clamping mechanism 31 can be implemented using conventional mechanical grippers. In this embodiment, only a simple schematic diagram is shown in the accompanying drawings, and further details are not described in detail.

[0059] like Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the engagement relationship of the second clamping mechanism 31 in this embodiment when it removes the lotus root filaments 200 from the first clamping mechanism 21. As mentioned earlier, the first clamping mechanism 21 and the second clamping mechanism 31 can be mechanical grippers in the prior art. The gripper of the second clamping mechanism 31 can be inserted into the gap between the grippers of the first clamping mechanism 21 to clamp the lotus root filaments 200. This will not be described further here.

[0060] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, the lotus fiber extraction device is mainly used to automatically extract the fibers from the lotus stems one by one, such as... Figure 1As shown in the figure, two sets of lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanisms 1, two sets of lotus stem breaking and wire winding mechanisms 2 and two sets of lotus stem grabbing mechanisms 3 are arranged in the embodiment, and the actual number can be arranged according to actual needs by those skilled in the art, which will not be described further; meanwhile, in the embodiment, the lotus stems can be placed on the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1 one by one by manual operation, or the lotus stems can be placed on the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1 one by one after being cut by the lotus stem cutting mechanism 4 in the embodiment.

[0061] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 Figure 5 The structure diagram of the lotus stem breaking and wire winding mechanism 2 provided by the embodiment is shown in the figure, and the lotus stem breaking and wire winding mechanism 2 further comprises a first reciprocating moving mechanism 22, the first reciprocating moving mechanism 22 comprises a transverse moving mechanism 221 and a longitudinal moving mechanism 222, the longitudinal moving mechanism 222 is arranged on the moving end of the transverse moving mechanism 221, and the first clamping mechanism 21 is rotatably arranged on the moving end of the longitudinal moving mechanism 222.

[0062] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 21 clamps the end of the lotus stem and rotates to break the lotus stem, and if necessary, the transverse moving mechanism 221 can be controlled to drive the first clamping mechanism 21 to move a small distance away from the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1, so as to pull the wire and avoid collision with the lotus stem remaining fixed on the lotus stem pressing and fixing mechanism 1 when winding the lotus stem, and in order to avoid the wound lotus stem from winding outside the lotus stem clamped by the first clamping mechanism 21, the longitudinal moving mechanism 222 can be controlled to drive the first clamping mechanism 21 to move a distance in the longitudinal direction (in the embodiment, the advancing direction of the lotus stem is the transverse direction, and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the advancing direction of the lotus stem is the longitudinal direction) with the clamped lotus stem part after the first clamping mechanism 21 clamps and breaks the lotus stem, so that the winding lotus stem bracket is wound outside the first clamping mechanism 21, and after winding is completed, the first clamping mechanism 21 is slightly loosened to clamp the lotus stem, the lotus stem falls into the lotus stem recycling port 301, and then the second clamping mechanism 31 moves to clamp the lotus stem from the first clamping mechanism 21, and the specific control of the above actions can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs by those skilled in the art, which will not be described in detail, and the above is only a preferred embodiment, which is not a strict limitation on the action flow.

[0063] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 ​As shown, the lotus root gripping mechanism 3 also includes a second reciprocating moving mechanism 32. A second clamping mechanism 31 is installed on the second reciprocating moving mechanism 32. The second reciprocating moving mechanism 32 is mainly used to move and drive the second clamping mechanism 31. Its main structure can be understood and implemented with reference to the first reciprocating moving mechanism 22, and will not be described further here.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the lotus root cutting mechanism in this embodiment. The lotus fiber extraction device also includes a lotus root cutting mechanism 4, which includes a cutting platform 41, a cutting device 42, and a third clamping mechanism 43. The lotus root cutting mechanism 41 can be placed on the cutting platform 41. The cutting device 42 is used to cut the lotus root cutting mechanism on the cutting platform 41. The third clamping mechanism 43 can move and clamp the lotus root cutting mechanism 42 on the cutting platform 41 and move the lotus root cutting mechanism to the lotus root pressing and fixing mechanism 1.

[0065] It is understood that the cutting platform 41 is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 300. In this embodiment, the cutting platform 41 consists of two parts with a gap in the middle for the cutting blade of the cutting device 42 to pass through. A groove is also provided on the cutting platform 41 to facilitate the placement of lotus branches. Furthermore, the cutting device 42 is movably mounted on the mounting platform 300. This movability is mainly achieved through a combination of guide rails and sliders. The specific movement can be understood and implemented by referring to the description and illustrations in this embodiment, combined with conventional methods of existing technology. Regarding the cutting device 42 itself, such as... Figure 5 A standard cutting blade driven by a motor can be used for cutting. If necessary, a protective cover can be installed on the outside of the cutting blade. For specific details, those skilled in the art can refer to the illustrations and descriptions in this embodiment for understanding; further details will not be elaborated here. Furthermore, to ensure the lotus root branches are fixed on the cutting platform 41, a clamping mechanism 44 can be provided on the cutting platform 41. The clamping mechanism 44 can be combined with… Figure 6 The description shown and the aforementioned description of the lotus root clamping and fixing mechanism 1 can be used for understanding.

[0066] like Figure 6As shown, the lotus root cutting mechanism 4 also includes a lotus root moving mechanism 45. The third clamping mechanism 43 is provided on the lotus root moving mechanism 45. The lotus root moving mechanism 45 is used to move the third clamping mechanism 43 to clamp the cut lotus root on the cutting platform 41 and move it to the lotus root pressing and fixing mechanism 1. The lotus root moving mechanism 45 includes an X-axis moving mechanism 451, a Y-axis moving mechanism 452 and a Z-axis moving mechanism 453. The X-axis moving mechanism 451 is provided on the mounting platform 300. The Y-axis moving mechanism 452 is provided on the moving end of the X-axis moving mechanism 451. The Z-axis moving mechanism 453 is provided on the moving end of the Y-axis moving mechanism 452. The third clamping mechanism 43 can move and clamp the cut lotus root on the cutting platform 41 and move the lotus root to the lotus root pressing and fixing mechanism 1 under the drive of the X-axis moving mechanism 451, the Y-axis moving mechanism 452 and the Z-axis moving mechanism 453.

[0067] Understandably, in this embodiment, the lotus root cutting mechanism 4 can cut the lotus root into segments of a predetermined length, so that when breaking and pulling out the fibers, each segment of the predetermined length of lotus root is broken and pulled out once, which improves the efficiency of pulling out the fibers and makes it easier to control the pulling out of the fibers fully, thus avoiding waste of lotus root.

[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figures 7-8 As shown, Figures 7-8 The diagram shows two different perspectives of the lotus root conveying mechanism 5. The lotus fiber extraction device also includes the lotus root conveying mechanism 5, which is used to convey lotus roots to the lotus root cutting mechanism 4. The lotus root conveying mechanism 5 includes a first mounting frame 51, a transmission wheel 52, and a pressing wheel 53. The transmission wheel 52 and the pressing wheel 53 are rotatably mounted on the first mounting frame 51. The transmission wheel 52 and the pressing wheel 53 together clamp the lotus roots, and the transmission wheel 52 can rotate to move the lotus roots to the cutting platform 41 of the lotus root cutting mechanism 4.

[0069] It is understood that in this embodiment, when the lotus branch extends into the transmission wheel 52 and the pressing wheel 53 are combined, the lotus branch can be pressed by the combination of the transmission wheel 52 and the pressing wheel 53, and the lotus branch can be picked up and moved forward by friction through the rotation of the transmission wheel 52. In order to ensure the joint clamping effect of the transmission wheel 52 and the pressing wheel 53, multiple transmission wheels 52 and multiple pressing wheels 53 can be designed. The pressing wheel 53 can also be selected as a rubber wheel, plastic wheel, etc., according to actual needs, to avoid damaging the lotus branch and increase friction to ensure the conveying effect. In order to ensure that the lotus branch is aligned with the transmission wheel 52, a guide mechanism can be set in front of the transmission wheel 52, such as a guide wheel, guide bracket, or other conventional mechanism, which will not be described in further detail here.

[0070] It is understandable that multiple transmission wheels 52 can be configured to cooperate with the pressure wheels 53. Furthermore, the rotation of the transmission wheels 52 can be driven by a simple combination of a motor, transmission chain, and gears. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The transmission chain is not shown in the diagram, but those skilled in the art can understand and implement it based on common sense, so it will not be described further here.

[0071] In this embodiment, the lotus root conveying mechanism 5 further includes a tension adjustment mechanism 54, which is mounted on the first mounting frame 51. The clamping wheel 53 is mounted on the tension adjustment mechanism 54, and the tension adjustment mechanism 54 is used to adjust the distance between the clamping wheel 53 and the transmission wheel 52. The design of the tension adjustment mechanism 54 allows for adjustment of the clamping degree according to lotus root branches of different thicknesses, thereby ensuring effective receiving and conveying.

[0072] In this embodiment, the tension adjustment mechanism 54 includes a mounting base 541, an adjusting rod 542, a spring 543, and a second mounting bracket 544. The mounting base 541 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 51 and has a mounting hole 545. The adjusting rod 542 passes through the mounting hole 545 and is disposed on the mounting base 541. The second mounting bracket 544 is disposed at the end of the adjusting rod 542, and the pressure wheel 53 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket 544. The spring 543 is sleeved on the adjusting rod 542 and its two ends abut against the second mounting bracket 544 and the mounting base 541, respectively.

[0073] By designing a tension adjustment mechanism 54 consisting of a spring element 543 and an adjusting rod element 542, the tension can be flexibly and automatically adjusted throughout the process of picking up lotus roots, based on the thickness of the lotus roots, thus avoiding inadequate clamping or damage to the lotus roots. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can adjust the tension of the spring element 543 according to actual needs; further details are not elaborated here.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figures 9-10 As shown, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the lotus root cleaning mechanism provided in this embodiment. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the water tank provided in this embodiment. The lotus fiber extraction device also includes a lotus root cleaning mechanism 6, which includes:

[0075] Material rack 61, the material rack 61 is used to place lotus branches;

[0076] A fourth clamping mechanism 62 is arranged to clamp and move the lotus stems on the material rack 61 into the cleaning tank 631 for cleaning and then into the lotus stem conveying mechanism 5;

[0077] A spraying mechanism 63 is arranged to include the cleaning tank 631, water spraying pipes 632 and water conveying pipes 633. The cleaning tank 631 is provided with an inlet 634 and an outlet 635. The water spraying pipes 632 are arranged in a plurality of pipes and distributed on the upper and lower ends of the inside of the cleaning tank 631. The water spraying pipes 632 are provided with water spraying openings for spraying and cleaning the lotus stems moved by the fourth clamping mechanism 62. The water conveying pipes 633 are connected with the water spraying pipes 632 for supplying water to the water spraying pipes 632.

[0078] It can be understood that the water spraying openings can be provided with conventional components such as nozzles, which will not be described further.

[0079] In the embodiment, the side surfaces of the cleaning tank 631 are composed of strip-shaped partition plates. The spacing between the partition plates on the two side surfaces along the advancing direction of the lotus stems is greater than the diameter of the lotus stems. The greater than the diameter of the lotus stems means that the general diameter of the lotus stems can be calculated by statistics, and a fixed preset value is taken for design, as long as the lotus stems can pass through the spacing. By designing the side surfaces of the cleaning tank 631 as strip-shaped partition plate installation, on the one hand, it can prevent the spraying water from splashing out in large quantities, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for observing the cleaning condition. Further, in the embodiment, only the mode of designing the two side surfaces along the advancing direction of the lotus stems as partition plate composition is shown, but in other embodiments, the mode of designing all side surfaces as partition plate composition can also be used.

[0080] In the embodiment, the spacing between the partition plates on the two side surfaces along the advancing direction of the lotus stems is greater than the diameter of the lotus stems, so that the gap between the partition plates can also serve as the inlet and outlet of the lotus stems, and charge the inlet 634 and outlet 635 of the lotus stems on the cleaning tank 631. When it is necessary to design multiple groups of lotus stem conveying mechanisms 5 to convey lotus stems for cleaning at the same time, the spacing can be quickly used as the inlet and outlet 635 for switching, which improves the flexibility of the equipment. The switching and adjustment design between the inlet 634, the outlet 635 and the gap between the partition plates can be adjusted by the person skilled in the art according to the above description combined with the actual needs.

[0081] In the embodiment, a water tank 64 is further included, and the water supply pipeline 633 is in communication with the water tank 64. It can be understood that a water supply device 65 can be arranged between the water tank 64 and the water supply pipeline 633, and the water supply device 65 can be a conventional component such as a water pump, a water pump, etc., which can supply water by driving water flow into the water supply pipeline 633. In addition, it can be understood that although the water tank 64 is arranged below the cleaning mechanism in the embodiment, the installation of the water tank 64 can be changed and adjusted according to actual needs by those skilled in the art.

[0082] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 The water tank 64 is divided into a sewage chamber 641 and a clean water chamber 642, and a filter device 643 is arranged between the sewage chamber 641 and the clean water chamber 642 to separate them. The water supply pipeline 633 is in communication with the clean water chamber 642. The cleaning tank 631 is provided with a sewage recovery port 636, and the sewage recovery port 636 is in communication with the sewage chamber 641.

[0083] It can be understood that the filter device 643 can be designed according to the properties of the cleaning liquid actually used or the dirt generated after cleaning. Generally, a conventional filter device 643 such as a simple filter screen or filter gauze can be used. Those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs, and this will not be described further.

[0084] It can be understood that the bottom of the cleaning tank 631 can be designed in a funnel shape, and the sewage recovery port 636 is arranged at the bottom. By designing the water tank 64 into the sewage chamber 641 and the clean water chamber 642, and combining the water supply pipeline 633 and the sewage recovery port 636, water recycling can be achieved, and the flexibility of equipment use can be improved.

[0085] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 11 The fourth clamping mechanism 62 and the material rack 61 are shown in the structure diagram. The material rack 61 includes at least two support blocks 611, and the support blocks 611 are provided with support grooves 612 for receiving the lotus stems.

[0086] It can be understood that two support blocks 611 are taken as an example in the embodiment to illustrate that two support blocks 611 are combined to form a material rack 61 to jointly receive the falling lotus stems. In addition, a plurality of support blocks 611 can be arranged according to actual needs, and those skilled in the art can design and adjust according to actual needs, which will not be described further. In the embodiment, the support grooves 612 of the support blocks 611 are outwardly flared, which facilitates the quick, accurate and smooth placement of the lotus stems into the support grooves 612.

[0087] As shown in Figure 11As shown, the fourth clamping mechanism 62 can be moved by the third reciprocating movement mechanism 66, which comprises a combination of a horizontal movement mechanism 661 and a vertical movement mechanism 662 mounted on the moving end of the horizontal movement mechanism 661, and the fourth clamping mechanism 62 is mounted on the moving end of the horizontal movement mechanism 661, and the clamping mechanism can be clamped close to or away from the branch located on the material rack 61 under the drive of the horizontal movement mechanism 661 and the vertical movement mechanism 662.

[0088] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the branch is moved from the fourth clamping mechanism 62 of the branch cleaning mechanism 6 to the branch conveying mechanism 5, and the branch conveying mechanism 5 moves the branch to the branch cutting mechanism 4, which are all inserting the branch along the length direction into the mechanism of the next link. Those skilled in the art can adjust the relative positions of the mechanisms according to the actual situation, and if necessary, conventional guide mechanisms such as guide wheels and guide blocks can be added for guidance to ensure accurate and effective conveying, which will not be further described in detail here.

[0089] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figures 12-13 , the Figure 12 is a structural schematic view of the feeding mechanism provided in the present embodiment, Figure 13 is a structural schematic view of the material distribution mechanism provided in the present embodiment, and the lotus fiber extraction device further comprises a feeding mechanism 7, which comprises:

[0090] a hopper 71, the lower part of which is provided with a discharging port 72, which can accommodate a single branch at a time;

[0091] a material distribution mechanism 73, which comprises a rotating material distribution cylinder 731, the outer side of which is provided with a material groove 732 for receiving the branch 100 falling from the discharging port 72, and the material distribution cylinder 731 can rotate to transport and discharge the branch 100 onto the material rack 61.

[0092] It can be understood that the discharging port 72 in the present embodiment is in the shape of a long strip, which can make a single branch fall horizontally from the discharging port 72; at the same time, in order to ensure that the branches placed in the hopper 71 can be orderly queued and kept in uniform arrangement, the cross section of the hopper 71 is designed as a conical hopper in the present embodiment, the length direction of the discharging port 72 is the long side, and the vertical direction is the wide side, and the length of the wide side is smaller than the length of the branch, so that after the branch is placed, it cannot enter the hopper 71 if it is laid horizontally, and it is also convenient for manual accurate and rapid adjustment of the branch. The above is based on the fact that the branch is cut to a fixed length in advance, and those skilled in the art can understand and implement it according to the above description combined with conventional means.

[0093] It is understood that, in this embodiment, to ensure that the lotus root branches falling from the discharge port 72 can accurately fall into the trough 732, the positions of the distributing cylinder 731 and the hopper 71 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the distributing cylinder 731 is preferably positioned directly below the hopper 71, so that the trough 732 at the highest point of the distributing cylinder 731 is directly opposite the discharge port 72. Of course, in other embodiments, it is possible to position the distributing cylinder on the side or in other relative positions. Furthermore, it is understood that, in order to ensure that the lotus root branches can fall into the trough 732, the length and width of the trough 732 should be greater than the length of the lotus root branches. The specific dimensions are not further described here, and those skilled in the art can adjust and design them according to actual needs.

[0094] In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 73 further includes a rotation drive mechanism 733, which is used to drive the material distribution cylinder 731 to rotate.

[0095] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotation drive mechanism 733 mainly includes a motor and a transmission chain. The transmission chain connects the motor output shaft and the distributing cylinder 731, and the distributing cylinder 731 is rotated by the motor and the transmission chain. In addition, in order to ensure that the lotus root branches fall directly into the material trough 732, the rotation speed of the motor can be adjusted according to the actual situation, which will not be described in further detail here.

[0096] In this embodiment, a plurality of material troughs 732 are provided on the outside of the material distribution cylinder 731. The material troughs 732 are flared outward in a funnel shape and can accommodate lotus branches of a predetermined fixed length placed horizontally.

[0097] like Figure 13 As shown, material troughs 732 are evenly spaced on the outer side of the distributing cylinder 731. The walls of the material troughs 732 are chamfered to facilitate the introduction of lotus root branches into the troughs 732 and improve accuracy. Additionally, it is understood that although not shown in this embodiment, baffles can actually be added to both ends of the distributing cylinder 731 to limit the movement of the material troughs 732, preventing the lotus root branches from shifting off after falling into the troughs 732. Those skilled in the art can further extend the implementation based on the actions and functions to be achieved in this embodiment, combined with the above description and basic conventional technical means; further details are not described here.

[0098] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a conveyor belt 8, which is used to receive and transport the lotus root filaments clamped by the second clamping mechanism 31. After the second clamping mechanism 31 moves the clamped lotus root filaments onto the conveyor belt 8, it can release the clamp to place the lotus root filaments onto the conveyor belt 8 for transport.

[0099] In this embodiment, asFigure 1 As shown, the ultraviolet disinfection device 9 is arranged above the conveying belt 8 for irradiation disinfection of the lotus silk on the conveying belt 8.

[0100] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The ultraviolet disinfection device 9 in the embodiment includes a plurality of arranged ultraviolet disinfection lamps 91. The disinfection lamps 92 are arranged above the conveying belt 8 by the bracket 92 and irradiate the conveying belt 8 with ultraviolet rays. The specific details are not further described here, and those skilled in the art can adjust according to actual needs.

[0101] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The lotus branch breaking and silk winding mechanism 2 also includes a visual recognition module 23 arranged on the mounting platform 300. In the embodiment, the visual recognition module 23 is located before the lotus branch conveying mechanism 5 and is used for photographing and identifying the quality of the lotus branch to be silked. The visual recognition module 23 can be a CCD system in the prior art, which mainly compares the photographed image to determine whether the lotus branch is good. The visual recognition technology is a mature prior art and is not described in detail here. When the lotus branch to be silked is identified as a defective product by the visual recognition module 23, the lotus branch can be ejected by the ejection mechanism 302 and dropped into the lotus branch recycling port 301 after being cut, without being broken and silked. The specific action can be controlled and realized by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0102] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The vacuum packaging module 10 is also included, which is used to receive the lotus silk conveyed by the conveying belt 8 and perform vacuum packaging.

[0103] It can be understood that the vacuum packaging module 10 can be a device in the prior art, such as a vacuum packaging machine, which generally mainly includes a distributor, a gas pump, and a hot pressing module, etc. The specific implementation can refer to the mature food vacuum packaging machine and tea vacuum packaging machine in the prior art. As long as the lotus silk on the conveying belt 8 can be received and then packaged after reaching a fixed amount, the vacuum packaging module 10 belongs to the prior art and is not described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can refer to the prior art for implementation and combine the description in the embodiment for simple combination.

[0104] It can be understood that the X-axis moving mechanism 451, the Y-axis moving mechanism 452, the Z-axis moving mechanism 453, the transverse moving mechanism 221, the longitudinal moving mechanism 222, the horizontal moving mechanism 661 and the vertical moving mechanism 662 in the embodiment can be realized by using conventional motors, screws, sliders, guide rails or conventional means such as pneumatic cylinders to realize the extension and retraction, and the like. Further description is not expanded here. The clamping mechanism adopts a mechanical gripper clamping mode, which can be realized by referring to the drawings in combination with the prior art. Further description is not expanded here.

[0105] In addition, the skilled person in the art can set up a protective cover door and window outside the lotus fiber extraction device according to actual needs, and at the same time, a display screen and a controller can be set up outside the protective cover door and window, so as to conveniently monitor and control the operation of the whole equipment. The specific details can be designed according to the actual needs by the skilled person in the art.

[0106] The lotus fiber extraction device provided in the embodiment is used. First, the lotus branch cut to a certain length is placed on the hopper 71 manually. The lotus branch falls horizontally from the lower end of the hopper 71 to the material groove 732 of the distribution cylinder 731. After the distribution cylinder 731 rotates to move the lotus branch to the position, the lotus branch automatically rolls off from the material groove 732 and falls into the material rack 61. Then, the fourth clamping mechanism 62 moves to clamp the lotus branch. The lotus branch is clamped and moved into the cleaning box 631 through the cooperation of the horizontal moving mechanism 661 and the vertical moving mechanism 662. During the movement, the fourth clamping mechanism 62 slowly moves the lotus branch forward. The water pipe 632 of the cleaning box 631 continuously sprays water to clean the lotus branch. When the lotus branch leaves the cleaning box 631, the lotus branch is aligned with the lotus branch conveying mechanism 5 under the movement of the fourth clamping mechanism 62, specifically inserted between the compression wheel 53 and the transmission wheel 52. The lotus branch is conveyed to the cutting platform 41 of the lotus branch cutting mechanism 4 through the transmission wheel 52 of the lotus branch conveying mechanism 5. The lotus branch is cut to a fixed length on the cutting platform 41 through the cutting device 42. Then, the third clamping mechanism 43 clamps the cut lotus branch and moves the lotus branch to the lotus branch compression and fixing mechanism 1 for fixing. Before the lotus branch is placed on the lotus branch compression and fixing mechanism 1, if the lotus branch is identified as a defective product through the visual identification module 23, the lotus branch is not broken and the lotus branch is directly ejected and falls into the lotus branch recycling port through the ejecting mechanism 302. Then, the first clamping mechanism 21 of the lotus branch breaking and winding mechanism 2 is controlled to move close to the lotus branch. After clamping, the lotus branch is broken through rotation and movement. Then, the lotus silk is wound outside the gripper of the first clamping mechanism 21. Before winding the lotus silk, in order to avoid that the lotus branch segment on the first clamping mechanism 21 is wrapped in the lotus silk, the first clamping mechanism 21 can be controlled to move longitudinally by a small distance to avoid the lotus branch. After winding the lotus silk, the first clamping mechanism 21 releases the lotus branch. The lotus branch is ejected and falls into the lotus branch recycling port 301 through the ejecting mechanism 302 for recycling. Then, the second clamping mechanism 31 of the lotus silk grabbing mechanism 3 moves close to the first clamping mechanism 21 to clamp the lotus silk outside the first clamping mechanism and moves the lotus silk to the conveying belt 8 for conveying. The lotus silk is disinfected through the irradiation of the ultraviolet disinfection device 9 during the conveying process. The silk extraction is completed. Finally, the lotus silk is packaged and collected through the vacuum packaging module 10.

[0108] 1. The lotus fiber extraction device provided by the present application can quickly complete automatic breaking and extracting of the lotus fiber by the following steps: first, the lotus branch is pressed and fixed by the lotus branch pressing and fixing mechanism, then the end of the lotus branch is clamped by the first clamping mechanism of the lotus branch breaking and winding mechanism, then the lotus branch is broken by rotating, then the lotus fiber is wound on the first clamping mechanism by continuously rotating, then the lotus fiber wound on the first clamping mechanism is clamped and collected by the second clamping mechanism of the lotus fiber grabbing mechanism, thus realizing automatic production of the lotus fiber extraction, greatly improving the production efficiency of the lotus fiber, and solving the problems of large labor and low efficiency in the prior art.
