Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bamboo strip production, and in particular to a bamboo strip orderly and fixed-quantity material collection device. Background Technology

[0002] When bamboo strips need to be counted and retrieved, if the number of bamboo strips in the storage bin is already sufficient, the retrieval mechanism needs to retrieve the material and recount and store it. However, if bamboo strips from two storage bins need to be retrieved at the same time, the production line needs to stop operating and wait for all the material that has been counted to be retrieved before it can continue to work, because the retrieval mechanism needs to retrieve one before it can retrieve the next. This affects the operation of the entire production line. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a bamboo strip orderly and fixed-number material collection device.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:

[0007] A bamboo strip orderly and fixed-quantity collection device includes a storage mechanism and a collection mechanism;

[0008] The storage mechanism includes a storage bin and a restraint component;

[0009] The storage bin is vertically connected with a storage channel for bamboo strips to enter and exit.

[0010] Multiple sets of the limiting components are provided and spaced apart on the surface of the storage bin, and the internal storage space of the storage bin is divided into multiple storage chambers. The limiting components only allow stacked bamboo strips to enter the storage chamber from below the storage channel.

[0011] The material collection mechanism is installed inside the storage silo;

[0012] The material collection mechanism includes a cylinder, a connecting plate, a support assembly, and a limiting assembly;

[0013] The connecting plate is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder;

[0014] The supporting component and the limiting component are respectively installed on the two sides of the connecting plate, and the supporting component is located on the side of the connecting plate closer to the storage channel;

[0015] The limiting assembly includes a ratchet, a pawl, a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a first support rod, a first tension spring, and a first limiting wheel seat;

[0016] The first rotating shaft is mounted on the connecting plate, and both ends of the first rotating shaft extend to the sides of the connecting plate;

[0017] The ratchet is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft;

[0018] One end of the pawl is connected to the ratchet, and the other end of the pawl is connected to the connecting plate via a second rotating shaft;

[0019] The first limiting wheel seat is fixed on the second rotating shaft;

[0020] The first support rod is mounted on the connecting plate;

[0021] One end of the first tension spring is connected to the first support rod, and the other end of the first tension spring is connected to the pawl;

[0022] When the first limiting wheel seat receives pressure in the direction of the ratchet, it will drive the second rotating shaft to rotate, causing the pawl to separate from the ratchet. When the external force disappears, the pawl will engage with the ratchet.

[0023] The supporting assembly includes a material support arm, a pull rod, a second support rod, a second tension spring, and a second limiting wheel seat;

[0024] The material support arm has an L-shaped structure design, and one end of the horizontal part of the material support arm is connected to the end of the first rotating shaft away from the ratchet.

[0025] The second support rod is mounted on the connecting plate;

[0026] The pull rod is fixedly installed at the bend of the material support arm;

[0027] One end of the second tension spring is connected to the second support rod, and the other end of the second tension spring is connected to the pull rod. Under the action of the second tension spring, the vertical part of the material support arm remains vertical, and the pull rod is attached to one side of the connecting plate.

[0028] The second limiting wheel seat is installed at the bottom of the horizontal part of the material support arm. When the second limiting wheel seat is subjected to upward pressure, it will drive the material support arm to rotate. When the external force disappears, the first rotating shaft is restricted by the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet and the tension of the second tension spring, and the material support arm will remain in the position where the force disappears.

[0029] Preferably, the material collection mechanism further includes an upper limit block and a lower limit block; the upper limit block and the lower limit block are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the storage bin. When the piston of the cylinder retracts to the highest position, the first limit wheel seat contacts the upper limit block. When the piston of the cylinder extends downward to the lowest position, the second limit wheel seat contacts the lower limit block.

[0030] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting claw, a limiting rod, an extension plate, and a third tension spring;

[0031] The limiting claw body is provided in two sets, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the material storage channel;

[0032] The limiting claw body has an L-shaped structure. The top end of the vertical part of the limiting claw body is rotatably mounted on the surface of the storage bin. The bottom of the horizontal part of the limiting claw body is provided with an inclined surface. When two sets of the limiting claw bodies are connected, the inclined surfaces on the two limiting claw bodies form a herringbone shape.

[0033] The extension plate is installed at one end of the top of the vertical part of the limiting claw body;

[0034] One end of the third tension spring is connected to the extension plate, and the other end of the third tension spring is connected to the storage bin. Under the action of the third tension spring, the claw body deflects towards the storage channel.

[0035] The limiting rod is fixed to the surface of the storage bin, and the limiting claw body has a positioning hole corresponding to the limiting rod. Under the action of the limiting rod and the third tension spring, the horizontal part of the claw body remains horizontal.

[0036] Preferably, it also includes a moving mechanism and a material-retrieving mechanism, wherein the material-retrieving mechanism is connected to the moving end of the moving mechanism and is used to remove stacked bamboo strips from the storage bin.

[0037] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When the connecting plate descends to its lowest position, the second limiting wheel seat of the supporting component touches the lower limiting block, causing the material-supporting arm to rotate 90 degrees, so that the material-supporting arm automatically rotates to a horizontal state at the bottom. During the process of the connecting plate moving upward to reset, the material-supporting arm enters the storage chamber and lifts the stacked bamboo pieces in the storage chamber. As the connecting plate rises, the stacked bamboo pieces in the lower storage chamber can enter the upper storage chamber, realizing the collection of bamboo pieces in the two storage chambers. When the connecting plate rises to its highest position, under the action of the limiting component, the material-supporting arm rotates to reset and remains in a downward vertical state. This application uses a reciprocating cylinder as a power element to realize material picking, transfer, and discharging, which can quickly collect bamboo pieces in the two storage chambers together. This is beneficial for cooperating with the material picking mechanism to achieve rapid material picking without the need for the production line to stop operating, which greatly improves the production efficiency of bamboo pieces.

[0056] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6The present invention provides a bamboo strip orderly fixed-number collection device, including a storage mechanism 1 and a collection mechanism 2;

[0058] The storage mechanism 1 includes a storage bin 11 and a limiting component 12;

[0059] A vertical storage channel for bamboo strips to enter and exit is provided on the storage bin 11;

[0060] Multiple sets of limiting components 12 are provided and spaced apart on the surface of the storage bin 11, and divide the internal storage space of the storage bin 11 into multiple storage chambers. The limiting components 12 only allow stacked bamboo strips to enter the storage chamber from below the storage channel.

[0061] The material collection mechanism 2 is installed inside the storage silo 11;

[0062] The material collection mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 21, a connecting plate 22, a supporting component 24, and a limiting component 23;

[0063] The connecting plate 22 is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder 21;

[0064] The supporting component 24 and the limiting component 23 are respectively installed on the two sides of the connecting plate 22, and the supporting component 24 is located on the side of the connecting plate 22 closer to the storage channel;

[0065] The limiting assembly 23 includes a ratchet 231, a pawl 235, a first rotating shaft 232, a second rotating shaft 236, a first support rod 234, a first tension spring 233, and a first limiting wheel seat 237;

[0066] The first rotating shaft 232 is mounted on the connecting plate 22, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 232 extend to the two sides of the connecting plate 22.

[0067] Ratchet 231 is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 232;

[0068] One end of the pawl 235 is connected to the ratchet 231, and the other end of the pawl 235 is connected to the connecting plate 22 via the second rotating shaft 236.

[0069] The first limiting wheel seat 237 is fixed on the second rotating shaft 236;

[0070] The first support rod 234 is installed on the connecting plate 22;

[0071] One end of the first tension spring 233 is connected to the first support rod 234, and the other end of the first tension spring 233 is connected to the pawl 235;

[0072] When the first limit wheel seat 237 is subjected to pressure in the direction of ratchet 231, it will drive the second rotating shaft 236 to rotate, thereby causing the pawl 235 to separate from the ratchet 231. When the external force disappears, under the pre-tension of the tension spring 233, the pawl 235 and the ratchet 231 will engage.

[0073] The support assembly 24 includes a material support arm 241, a pull rod 242, a second support rod 244, a second tension spring 243, and a second limit wheel seat 245;

[0074] The material support arm 241 has an L-shaped structure design, with one end of the horizontal part of the material support arm 241 connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 232 away from the ratchet 231;

[0075] The second support rod 244 is installed on the connecting plate 22;

[0076] The pull rod 242 is fixedly installed at the bend of the material support arm 241;

[0077] One end of the second tension spring 243 is connected to the second support rod 244, and the other end of the second tension spring 243 is connected to the pull rod 242. Under the action of the second tension spring 243, the vertical part of the material support arm 241 remains vertical, and the pull rod 242 is attached to one side of the connecting plate 22.

[0078] refer to Figure 2 The second limiting wheel seat 245 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal part of the material support arm 241. When the second limiting wheel seat 245 is subjected to upward pressure, it will drive the material support arm 241 to rotate. When the external force disappears, the first rotating shaft 232 is restricted by the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet 231 and the tension of the second tension spring 243, and the material support arm 241 will remain in the position where the force disappears.

[0079] The material collection mechanism 2 also includes an upper limit block 25 and a lower limit block 26. The upper limit block 25 and the lower limit block 26 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the storage bin 11. When the piston of the cylinder 21 retracts to the highest position, the first limit wheel seat 237 contacts the upper limit block 25. When the piston of the cylinder 21 extends downward to the lowest position, the second limit wheel seat 245 contacts the lower limit block 26.

[0080] In use, the piston rod of cylinder 21 extends downward, causing the connecting plate 22 to descend to its lowest position. This causes the second limiting wheel seat 245 of the supporting assembly 24 to contact the lower limiting block 26, driving the material support arm 241 to rotate 90 degrees. Simultaneously, it drives the ratchet 231 to rotate 90 degrees. The pawl 235 engages with the ratchet 231 to prevent it from reversing. At this time, the material support arm 241 is in a horizontal state and located below the storage chamber. When the piston rod of cylinder 21 retracts and resets, the material support arm 241 enters the storage chamber, lifting the stacked bamboo strips inside. As the connecting plate 22 rises, the stacked bamboo strips in the lower storage chamber... Bamboo strips can enter the previous storage chamber, realizing the collection of bamboo strips in the two storage chambers. When the connecting plate 22 rises to the highest position, the first limiting wheel seat 237 of the limiting component 23 touches the upper limit block 25, causing the pawl 235 to rotate, so that the pawl 235 separates from the ratchet 231. The material support arm 241 is pulled by the second tension spring 243, causing the material support arm 241 to rotate to the limited downward vertical state. The piston rod of the cylinder 21 extends downward again, and the first limiting wheel seat 237 touches the upper limit block 25, so that the pawl 235 and the ratchet 231 re-engage, so as to collect material for the next time.

[0081] In this embodiment, two sets of limiting claw bodies 121 are provided, which are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the material storage channel;

[0082] The limiting claw body 121 has an L-shaped structure. The top end of the vertical part of the limiting claw body 121 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the storage bin 11. The bottom of the horizontal part of the limiting claw body 121 is provided with an inclined surface. When two sets of limiting claw bodies 121 are connected, the inclined surfaces on the two limiting claw bodies 121 form a herringbone shape.

[0083] Extension plate 122 is installed at the top end of the vertical part of the limiting claw body 121;

[0084] One end of the third tension spring 123 is connected to the extension plate 122, and the other end of the third tension spring 123 is connected to the storage bin 11. Under the action of the third tension spring, the claw body deflects towards the storage channel.

[0085] The limiting rod 124 is fixed on the surface of the storage bin 11. The limiting claw body 121 is provided with a positioning hole corresponding to the limiting rod 124. Under the action of the limiting rod 124 and the third tension spring, the horizontal part of the claw body remains horizontal.

[0086] During use, as the stacked bamboo strips move upward from the bottom of the storage channel into the storage chamber, the bamboo strips push the limiting claws 121 on both sides outward until the bamboo strips enter the storage chamber. After the stacked bamboo strips have completely entered the storage chamber, the limiting claws 121 are reset under the action of the third tension spring 123, so that the stacked bamboo strips can enter the storage chamber upward, but will not fall downward.

[0087] refer to Figure 7In this embodiment, a moving mechanism 3 and a material picking mechanism 4 are also included. The material picking mechanism 4 is connected to the moving end of the moving mechanism 3 and is used to take out the stacked bamboo strips in the storage bin 11.

[0088] In this embodiment, a top-feeding mechanism 5 is also included. The top-feeding mechanism 5 is located below the storage bin 11 and is used to lift the stacked bamboo strips upward and into the corresponding storage channel.

[0089] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0090] The feeding mechanism 5 rapidly pushes bamboo strips one by one into the lower storage chamber of the storage mechanism 1, ensuring that the green and yellow sides of the bamboo strips face the same during the transfer. When the number of bamboo strips in the lower storage chamber reaches a predetermined value, the cylinder 21 pushes the connecting plate 22 down to its lowest position, causing the second limit wheel seat 245 of the supporting component 24 to touch the lower limit block 26, which in turn rotates the supporting arm 241 90 degrees, making the supporting arm 241 horizontal. As the connecting plate 22 moves upward to reset, the supporting arm 241 enters the storage chamber, lifting the stacked bamboo strips inside. The rising mechanism allows the stacked bamboo strips in the lower storage chamber to enter the upper storage chamber, realizing the transfer of bamboo strips between the two storage chambers. When the connecting plate 22 rises to its highest point, the material support arm 241 rotates and resets under the action of the limiting component 23, maintaining a downward vertical state. This application uses a reciprocating cylinder as a power element to realize material picking, transfer, and discharging, which can quickly gather bamboo strips from the two storage chambers together. This is beneficial for cooperating with the material picking mechanism 4 to achieve rapid material picking without the need for the production line to stop operating, greatly improving the production efficiency of bamboo strips.

Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
