Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cotton testing technology, and specifically relates to a cotton bale inspection and sampling system. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure cotton quality and protect the rights and interests of domestic cotton-using enterprises, sampling and inspection will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the imported cotton industry standard SN / T 3702.2-2013 "Sampling Methods for Conformity Assessment of Imported and Exported Textiles Part 2: Textile Raw Materials". The sampling quantity is 10%. On the compressed cotton bale, cut an appropriate number of straps (packing straps), cut open the packaging, and extract a sample at a width of 40cm and a depth of 10-15cm, with a minimum weight of 300 grams. The extracted cotton sample should be kept intact in block form.

[0003] Sampling imported cotton involves a large number of samples, currently relying heavily on manual sampling by opening bales. Manual sampling is not only labor-intensive but also inconsistent, with varying sampling depths leading to significant discrepancies in test results. Furthermore, the large number of people gathered at cotton yards poses a fire hazard. Therefore, there is a need to design an automated cotton bale sampling device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a cotton bale inspection and sampling system that enables automatic sampling of cotton bales and can be flexibly used in the warehouse.

[0033] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0034] This invention provides a cotton bale inspection and sampling system, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown.

[0035] A cotton bale inspection and sampling system includes a drive vehicle 10, a cotton bale receiving section and a worktable 15 mounted on the drive vehicle 10, with the worktable 15 slidably mounted on the drive vehicle 10. The worktable 15 also includes a cutting device. The cutting device includes a first cutter 2 and a second cutter 3 spaced apart, with the first cutter 2 mounted on the worktable 15 via a first bracket. In this embodiment, the heads of both the first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3 are designed with sharp comb-like teeth. Figure 3 As shown, the end of the drive vehicle 10 is also equipped with a hand lever 10 for manual propulsion.

[0036] A lifting device is also installed on the first support, and a second cutter is located on top of the lifting device and moves up and down under its drive, opening and closing with the first cutter; the cotton bale receiving part is located at the front end of the drive vehicle, and cotton bale clamping devices are correspondingly provided on both sides of it. In this embodiment, the lifting device includes a gear set 6 and a transmission screw 4, and the gear set 6 is driven by an opening and closing drive motor 5 located on the first support, while the second cutter 3 is rotatably mounted on the transmission screw 4 and moves up and down along the transmission screw 4 under the action of the opening and closing drive motor 5.

[0037] The first cutter 2 can be a fixed cutter or a moving cutter. In this embodiment, the first cutter 2 is set as a fixed cutter and fixed on the top of the first bracket, and the second cutter 3 is set as a moving cutter. The position of the second cutter 3 can be up or down. The two are placed vertically and "open" and "close" to both sides to complete the sampling action.

[0038] The worktable 15 is driven by a gear and rack and moves back and forth under the action of the feed motor 9. The rack is also equipped with a limit switch 8.

[0039] The drive vehicle is also equipped with a video monitoring system 7 for real-time monitoring, which can monitor and record the sampling process in real time.

[0040] The front end of the drive vehicle has a U-shaped opening, which works in conjunction with a cotton bale clamping device 12 to clamp the cotton bales. The cotton bale clamping device 12 includes two symmetrically arranged rotating handles, clamping rods, and rotating base plates, which are connected in sequence. The rotating base plate is correspondingly hinged to the drive vehicle. By rotating the handles, the clamping rods and rotating base plates are pressed firmly onto the cotton bales, fixing the drive vehicle and the cotton bales together for the next step of the operation. In this embodiment, the cotton bale clamping device 12 is located at the opening of the U-shaped opening, and the clamping rods clamp the cotton bales located on the inner side.

[0041] Furthermore, the cotton bale clamping device 12 clamps and secures the cotton bale for the next step. The worktable 15 has a first cutter 2 and a second cutter 3. When the worktable drive 9 is activated, the worktable 15 moves towards the cotton bale. At this time, the first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3 will pierce into the cotton bale 1, taking samples 10cm to 15cm deep from the outside of the cotton bale according to national standard inspection requirements. After the first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3 have penetrated to a depth of 10cm to 15cm, the second cutter 3 drive motor drives gear set 6, which in turn drives the coaxial lead screw 5 to open the second cutter 3, peeling away the outer layer of cotton. The worktable 15 continues to move towards the cotton bale 1, causing the first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3 to penetrate to a certain depth. Then, the second cutter 3 drive motor drives gear set 6, which in turn drives the coaxial lead screw 5 to close the second cutter 3 to a certain extent, clamping the cotton between the first cutter 2 and the second cutter 3. The workbench 15 moves in the opposite direction to the cotton bale, removing the clamped cotton sample (approximately 300g). The sampling process is complete. This design includes a real-time video monitoring system 7, which can monitor and save the sampling process data in real time. See the sampling process diagram below. Figures 3 to 8 As shown.
