Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a corn husk rope-making device, belonging to the field of corn husk recycling technology. Background Technology

[0002] Corn is a common grain. During its growth, corn grows with a husk or shell, which is the outermost protective covering. When mature, it is yellow or light brown and has high wear resistance and protective properties. Compared with the outer skin of other plants, corn husk is very tough and durable, and can effectively protect corn kernels from mechanical damage. It would be a pity and a waste to discard it. Recycling can increase the value of corn husk. This includes using corn husk to make environmentally friendly materials, weaving ropes, and making handicrafts, handbags, cushions, etc. These are all ways to recycle and reuse corn husk.

[0003] Patent CN201245791 Y discloses a corn husk rope spinning machine, which consists of a horizontal frame, a motor, a transmission wheel, a spinning frame, a winding shaft, and a fixing spring. The spinning frame is horizontally located above the horizontal frame, with one end fixed to the inner side of the transmission wheel. The hollow shaft of the transmission wheel is fixed to the horizontal frame by bearings. The hollow shaft tube at the other end of the spinning frame is also fixed to the horizontal frame by bearings. The winding shaft is horizontally located in the spinning frame, with baffles at both ends. One end of the winding shaft movably passes through the hollow shaft of the transmission wheel, and a wheel is fixed to the exposed end of the hollow shaft. A fixing spring is hung between the wheel and the bottom of the horizontal frame. The other end of the winding shaft movably passes through the center of the support frame of the spinning frame. The spinning frame is equipped with hooks that can slide left and right. The motor drives the spinning frame to rotate via a transmission belt. This machine has a simple structure, is easy to operate and learn, and has high working efficiency. The spun corn husk rope has a uniform thickness, making full use of the corn husk and increasing farmers' income. However, the equipment lacks sufficient automation in ensuring that the corn husk rope is evenly distributed on the winding shaft, and its work efficiency needs to be improved.
