Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of goose down processing equipment, specifically relating to a high-efficiency goose down quality sorting system. Background Technology
[0002] Goose down quality sorting refers to the process of separating different components in goose down, such as down, impurities, and down fibers, through mechanical equipment or manual labor. The mechanical equipment used is generally wind-powered or suction-powered goose down sorting equipment. Its working principle is to use wind or suction to blow away impurities and lighter down fibers from the down, leaving pure down. In addition, wind-powered or suction-powered goose down sorting can also be used in conjunction with filter screen filtration.
[0003] However, existing wind and suction sorting equipment generally lacks an automatic filter cleaning structure. After prolonged use, down can get stuck in the gaps of the filter, or it can easily adhere to the filter surface under the action of wind or suction. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will affect the efficiency of wind and suction sorting down. If it is cleaned, since it does not have an automatic filter cleaning structure, it is necessary to stop the wind and suction and clean it manually or directly. The former takes up more time to sort down and is less efficient. Both of these require manual operation and have a low degree of automation. Both are inconvenient. Therefore, we provide a high-efficiency down quality sorting system to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an efficient goose down quality sorting system in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A high-efficiency goose down quality sorting system includes a feeding hopper, a kneading component located below the output port of the feeding hopper, a conveying pipe and a sorting box located below the output port of the kneading component and connected in sequence, a sorting component located inside the sorting box, a cleaning component for cleaning the sorting component, and a power component for driving the cleaning component to move up and down.
[0007] The sorting assembly includes several air ducts located on one side of the sorting box, and a primary filter and a secondary filter sequentially located inside the sorting box.
[0008] The operation of the kneading component drives the power component to move the cleaning component up and down, and the kneading component drives the cleaning component to blow air onto the primary and secondary filters to clean the goose down, down fibers and impurities adhering to the primary and secondary filters.
[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the kneading assembly includes two symmetrically arranged outer protective boxes, a movable plate that is slidably connected to the outer protective boxes, a guide frame that is horizontally opened in the middle of the movable plate, a rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the outer protective boxes, a servo motor that is connected to the rotating shaft and used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, a connecting rod that is connected to the rotating shaft, and a prying shaft that is connected to the connecting rod and slidably connected inside the guide frame and used to move the movable plate up and down.
[0010] Each of the two movable plates is connected to a kneading plate on one side opposite to the other, and each of the two kneading plates is provided with several kneading teeth on one side opposite to the other. The two kneading plates move in opposite directions.
[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the cleaning component includes an inflatable component, a gas delivery pipe connected to the inflatable component and extending into the sorting box, and an air blowing hood assembly connected to the gas delivery pipe.
[0012] The inflation component includes an inflation cylinder, a piston disposed inside the inflation cylinder, and a piston rod connected to the piston. The outer wall of the piston is in contact with the inner wall of the inflation cylinder, and the bottom of the movable plate is connected to the piston rod.
[0013] The air blowing hood assembly includes an air blowing hood body, a protective filter screen one disposed on the opening side of the air blowing hood body, and a protective filter screen two disposed inside the air blowing hood body and protecting the outside of the gas inlet and outlet ends of the gas conveying pipeline. The pore size of the protective filter screen two is smaller than that of the protective filter screen one.
[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, the air blowing hood assembly further includes several flexible baffles that are alternately arranged and stacked layer by layer. The flexible baffles are all located outside the second protective filter and are all connected to the inner wall of the air blowing hood body. Each flexible baffle has a bending portion and several third protective filters. Several supporting protrusions are provided on the outer wall of the second protective filter.
[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, the power assembly includes a lead screw rotatably connected inside the sorting box, a nut seat connected to the lead screw via a ball nut pair, a support frame located on the top of the sorting box, a rotating roller rotatably connected to the support frame, two bevel gears respectively located on the rotating roller and the lead screw and meshing with each other, and a synchronizing element located between one of the rotating shafts and the rotating roller. The air blowing hood assembly is connected to the nut seat.
[0016] As a further optimization of the present invention, the primary filter and the secondary filter sequentially divide the interior of the sorting box into three sorting chambers, and each sorting chamber is provided with an output pipe at the bottom and a switch valve on each output pipe.
[0017] As a further optimization of the present invention, a protective cover is provided between the hopper and the conveying pipe, and the kneading plate and kneading teeth are both located inside the protective cover.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0019] 1) This invention uses a kneading component to simulate the manual kneading of goose down, which allows the goose down to be dispersed better. The goose down is sorted twice by a sorting component. During the sorting process, the operation of the kneading component can also drive the power component to move the cleaning component up and down. The kneading component drives the cleaning component to blow air onto the primary and secondary filters to clean the goose down, down fibers and impurities adhering to the primary and secondary filters. This achieves the anti-clogging and cleaning effect of the sorting component, which can efficiently complete the sorting and processing of goose down, classify the goose down according to quality, and save the time of manual cleaning of the sorting component, making it more convenient to use.
[0020] 2) The present invention simultaneously completes the kneading and dispersing of goose down, the sorting of goose down, and the mobile cleaning of the primary and secondary filters. Furthermore, the kneading component, the power component, and the cleaning component are all interconnected, with strong synchronization, saving time and reducing the use of drive equipment such as motors.
[0021] 3) To prevent or reduce the entry of goose down into the gas delivery pipe during the cleaning of the primary and secondary filters, this invention incorporates several alternating and stacked flexible baffles. Each flexible baffle has a bending section and a third protective filter. A supporting protrusion is provided on the second protective filter, allowing the flexible baffle to bend and shield the outside of the second protective filter during air intake. The supporting protrusion creates numerous gaps between the flexible baffle and the second protective filter, while the third protective filter allows gas to flow in. Therefore, the increased complexity of the air intake path makes it less likely for goose down to enter the gas delivery pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a high-efficiency goose down quality sorting system includes a feeding hopper 1, a kneading component located below the output port of the feeding hopper 1, a conveying pipe 11 and a sorting box 12 located below the output port of the kneading component and connected in sequence, a sorting component located inside the sorting box 12, a cleaning component for cleaning the sorting component, and a power component for driving the cleaning component to move up and down.
[0032] The sorting assembly includes several air ducts 25 located on one side of the sorting box 12, and a primary filter 13 and a secondary filter 14 sequentially located inside the sorting box 12.
[0033] The operation of the kneading component drives the power component to move the cleaning component up and down, and the kneading component drives the cleaning component to blow air onto the primary filter screen 13 and the secondary filter screen 14 to clean the goose down, down fibers and impurities adhering to the primary filter screen 13 and the secondary filter screen 14.
[0034] Preferably, the kneading assembly includes two symmetrically arranged outer protective boxes 2, a movable plate 3 slidably connected to the outer protective boxes 2, a guide frame 31 horizontally opened in the middle of the movable plate 3, a rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to the outer protective boxes 2, a servo motor 4 connected to the rotating shaft 5 and used to drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, a connecting rod 6 connected to the rotating shaft 5, and a toggle shaft 7 connected to the connecting rod 6 and slidably connected inside the guide frame 31 and used to move the movable plate 3 up and down.
[0035] Preferably, each of the two movable plates 3 is connected to a kneading plate 8 on one side opposite to the other, and each of the two kneading plates 8 is provided with a plurality of kneading teeth 9 on one side opposite to the other, and the two kneading plates 8 move in opposite directions.
[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two servo motors 4, which are used to drive the two rotating shafts 5 to rotate respectively, so that the two kneading boards 8 can always move in opposite directions.
[0037] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes an inflator 15, a gas delivery pipe 16 connected to the inflator 15 and extending into the sorting box 12, and an air blowing hood assembly 17 connected to the gas delivery pipe 16.
[0038] The inflation component 15 includes an inflation cylinder 151, a piston 153 disposed inside the inflation cylinder 151, and a piston rod 152 connected to the piston 153. The outer wall of the piston 153 is in contact with the inner wall of the inflation cylinder 151, and the bottom of the movable plate 3 is connected to the piston rod 152.
[0039] The air blowing hood assembly 17 includes an air blowing hood body 171, a protective filter 172 disposed on the opening side of the air blowing hood body 171, and a protective filter 173 disposed inside the air blowing hood body 171 and protecting the outside of the gas inlet and outlet ends of the gas conveying pipeline 16. The aperture of the protective filter 173 is smaller than that of the protective filter 172.
[0040] Preferably, the air blowing hood assembly 17 further includes a plurality of flexible baffles 174 arranged alternately and stacked in layers. Each flexible baffle 174 is located outside the second protective filter 173 and is connected to the inner wall of the air blowing hood body 171. Each flexible baffle 174 has a bending portion 175. Each flexible baffle 174 has a plurality of third protective filters 176. The outer wall of the second protective filter 173 has a plurality of supporting protrusions 177.
[0041] Preferably, the power assembly includes a lead screw 18 rotatably connected inside the sorting box 12, a nut seat 19 connected to the lead screw 18 via a ball nut pair, a support frame 20 located on the top of the sorting box 12, a rotating roller 21 rotatably connected to the support frame 20, two bevel gears 22 respectively located on the rotating roller 21 and the lead screw 18 and meshing with each other, and a synchronizing element 23 located between one of the rotating shafts 5 and the rotating roller 21. The air blowing hood assembly 17 is connected to the nut seat 19.
[0042] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the synchronizing element 23 includes two synchronizing pulleys respectively disposed on the rotating shaft 5 and the rotating roller 21, and a synchronizing belt disposed between the two synchronizing pulleys.
[0043] During the sorting of goose down, the down is conveyed downward through the hopper 1 and falls between two rubbing plates 8. Two servo motors 4 are started to drive two rotating shafts 5 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shafts 5 drives the connecting rod 6 and the actuating shaft 7 to rotate together. The actuating shaft 7 slides inside the guide frame 31, thereby driving the moving plate 3 to move up and down reciprocally. The two rubbing plates 8 move in opposite directions, so the two rubbing plates 8 and the rubbing teeth 9 on them move back and forth continuously, which can rub the down to achieve the dispersion of the down. The dispersed down falls into the conveying pipe 11 and is guided by the conveying pipe 11 to the sorting box 12, where the down is sorted by the sorting components.
[0044] However, during the sorting process, some goose down may adhere to the primary filter screen 13 and the secondary filter screen 14. Over time, this can cause the primary filter screen 13 and the secondary filter screen 14 to become clogged. Therefore, in this application, during the process of the servo motor 4 driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 will first drive the rotating roller 21 to rotate through the synchronizing component 23. The rotation of the rotating roller 21 will then drive the lead screw 18 to rotate through the bevel gear 22. The rotation of the lead screw 18 will cause the nut seat 19 to move up or down along the lead screw 18. The movement of the nut seat 19 will drive the air blowing hood assembly 17 to move together.
[0045] When the lead screw 18 moves down to the bottom or up to the top and needs to change its direction of movement, the two servo motors 4 can be made to change their rotation direction at the same time, so that the two kneading boards 8 can still maintain opposite directions of movement.
[0046] Secondly, during the rotation of the shaft 5 driven by the servo motor 4, the moving plate 3 moves up and down. When the moving plate 3 moves down, it presses the piston 153 to discharge the gas inside the inflation cylinder 151. The gas is then transported to the blowing hood assembly 17 through the gas delivery pipe 16. The gas is then discharged through the blowing hood assembly 17 and blown onto the primary filter screen 13 or the secondary filter screen 14, blowing off the goose down that is attached to or adhering to the primary filter screen 13 or the secondary filter screen 14, thereby completing the cleaning of the primary filter screen 13 and the secondary filter screen 14. When the moving plate 3 moves up, it pulls the piston rod 152 to draw gas into the inflation cylinder 151. During the process of drawing in the gas, it can pass through the protective filter screen 172, the flexible baffle 174, and the protective filter screen 173 to clean the goose down. The down is filtered and shielded to prevent it from entering the gas delivery pipe 16. It should be noted that when air is drawn in, the flexible baffle 174 will bend towards the second protective filter 173 under the action of suction, thus gradually approaching the second protective filter 173. At this time, the flexible baffle 174 shields and protects the outside of the second protective filter 173, which can reduce or prevent down from entering the gas delivery pipe 16. The third protective filter 176 is used for gas flow. When air is exhausted, the flexible baffle 174 will bend towards the first protective filter 172 along the bending part 175 under the action of gas to facilitate gas diffusion. Moreover, the flow guiding effect of the flexible baffle 174 can also achieve more concentrated exhaust of gas.
[0047] Preferably, the primary filter 13 and the secondary filter 14 divide the interior of the sorting box 12 into three sorting chambers in sequence. Each sorting chamber is provided with an output pipe 24 at the bottom and a switch valve is provided on each output pipe 24. The sorted goose down is transported out of the sorting box 12 through the output pipe 24.
[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the aperture of the secondary filter 14 is smaller than that of the primary filter 13. The outlet of the conveying pipe 11 extends into the sorting box 12 and is located between the air blowing pipe 25 and the primary filter 13. When sorting down, the down conveyed by the conveying pipe 11 falls into the first sorting chamber inside the sorting box 12, that is, the sorting chamber between the air blowing pipe 25 and the primary filter 13. The down exits through the air blowing pipe 25, resulting in a lighter weight and lower volume. Smaller piles of goose down will fly towards the next sorting chamber, namely the sorting chamber formed between the primary filter 13, the secondary filter 14, and the inner wall of the sorting box 12. The primary filter 13 performs the initial filtration of the goose down. The primary sorting of the goose down is completed by the continuous airflow from the air duct 25 and the filtration effect of the primary filter 13. Similarly, the goose down that has undergone primary sorting is further sorted by the continuous airflow from the air duct 25 and the filtration effect of the secondary filter 14.
[0049] Preferably, a protective cover 10 is provided between the hopper 1 and the conveying pipe 11, and the rubbing plate 8 and rubbing teeth 9 are both located inside the protective cover 10, which plays a protective role and can reduce the flying of goose down, down fibers and impurities.
[0050] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
