[0030] The cylinder 3 is arranged in an array inside the heating cylinder 2. The cylinder 3 has a through hole (not shown) that communicates with the inside of the heating cylinder 2. The cylinder 3 is equipped with a cocoon 4.

[0031] The pushing mechanism 5 is used to push the cocoons in the cocoon barrel 4 to the bottom of the cylinder 3. The pushing mechanism 5 includes a hanging plate 501 for supporting the cocoon barrel 4, a lifting rod 502 located at the center of the cocoon barrel 4, a power component 507 for driving the lifting rod 502 to rise and fall, a movable plate 503 located at one end of the lifting rod 502 and at the bottom of the cocoon barrel 4, a push plate 504 detachably connected to the lifting rod 502 and located at the top of the cocoon barrel 4, and a control component 505 for controlling the movable plate 503 and the inner wall of the cocoon barrel 4 to be fixed or separated. The movable plate 503, the push plate 504 and the cocoon barrel 4 form a storage cavity 506 for placing the cocoons. Preferably, in this embodiment, a guide slope 508 can be provided at the bottom of the cocoon barrel 4 to facilitate the movable plate 503 to enter the cocoon barrel 4 along the guide slope 508.

[0032] The kneading mechanism 6 uses the downward movement of the cocoon barrel 4 to knead the cocoons located at the top of the cylinder 3, so that the cocoons and water can come into full contact.

[0033] The present invention uses a pushing mechanism 5 to push the silkworm cocoons to the bottom of the cylinder 3, so that the silkworm cocoons can fully contact the water as they float from the bottom of the cylinder 3; at the same time, the kneading mechanism 6 kneads the silkworm cocoons at the top of the cylinder 3, further ensuring that the silkworm cocoons are in full contact with the water, thereby improving the efficiency of boiling the cocoons.

[0034] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the control component 505 includes a first mounting groove 5051 disposed on the inner wall of the cocoon 4, a second mounting groove 5052 disposed on the side wall of the movable plate 503, an outward push portion disposed in the first mounting groove 5051, a positioning portion disposed in the second mounting groove 5052 and inserted into the first mounting groove 5051, and a pressing portion for controlling the outward push portion to push the positioning portion out of the first mounting groove 5051 to cancel the fixation of the movable plate 503. After the positioning portion enters the first mounting groove 5051, it can fix the movable plate 503. When the pressing portion contacts the hanging plate 501, the outward push portion pushes the positioning portion out of the first mounting groove 5051, thereby canceling the positioning of the movable plate 503.

[0035] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the push-out portion includes an inner groove 5053 communicating with the first mounting groove 5051, an electromagnet 5054 disposed at the bottom of the inner groove 5053, a sliding plate 5055 slidably engaged with the inner wall of the inner groove 5053, a push plate 5056 fixed on the sliding plate 5055 and slidably sealed with the inner wall of the first mounting groove 5051, a magnetic attraction portion 5057 disposed in the push plate 5056, and a spring 5058 connecting the sliding plate 5055 and the inner wall of the inner groove 5053.

[0036] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the positioning part includes a rod 5059 that slides and seals with the second mounting groove 5052, and a second spring 50510 connecting the rod 5059 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 5052. The rod 5059 enters the first mounting groove 5051 under the elastic action of the second spring 50510, thereby positioning the movable plate 503. Under the push of the push plate 5056, the rod 5059 disengages from the first mounting groove 5051, thereby canceling the positioning of the movable plate 503.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the pressing part includes a pressure plate 50511 disposed on the outer wall of the cocoon barrel 4 and cooperating with the hanging plate 501, and a waterproof switch 50512 disposed at the bottom of the pressure plate 50511 and electrically connected to the electromagnet 5054. Preferably, in this embodiment, the waterproof switch 50512, the power supply (not shown), and the electromagnet 5054 are connected in series. A limiting groove 50513 for placing the pressure plate 50511 can be provided on the hanging plate 501. When the pressure plate 50511 enters the limiting groove 50513, the waterproof switch 50512 is pressed, the electromagnet 5054 is energized, thereby pushing the positioning part out of the first mounting groove 5051 and canceling the positioning of the movable plate 503.

Preferably, in this embodiment, the mutual pushing parts 601 are set at different heights. After the driving part 603 controls the squeezing and pushing part 602 to drive the mutual pushing part 601, the mutual pushing parts 601 at different heights move towards each other, forming a kneading-like action, so that the cocoon and water come into full contact, thereby improving the efficiency of cocoon boiling.

[0039] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the mutual pushing part 601 includes a box body 6011, a transverse plate 6012 slidably and sealingly connected to the box body 6011, a push rod 6013 connected to the transverse plate 6012 and extending into the cylinder 3, and an arc-shaped plate 6014 disposed at one end of the push rod 6013 away from the transverse plate 6012. Preferably, in this embodiment, the push rod 6013 passes through the box body 6011 and is slidably and sealingly connected to the box body 6011; the transverse plate 6012 pushes the push rod 6013, pushing the arc-shaped plate 6014 into the cylinder 3, thereby promoting the circular movement of the silkworm cocoon located at the top of the cylinder 3, so that the silkworm cocoon and water are in full contact.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the extrusion pushing part 602 includes a plurality of box bodies 6021 spaced apart on the side wall of the cylinder 3, a transverse plate 6022 slidably and sealingly connected to the box bodies 6021, a push rod 6023 connected to the transverse plate 6022 and extending into the cylinder 3, an arc-shaped plate 6024 disposed at the end of the push rod 6023 away from the transverse plate 6022, a channel 6025 connecting the box bodies 6021 and the box body 6011, and a channel 6025 connecting adjacent box bodies 6021. Preferably, in this embodiment, the push rod 6023 penetrates the box body 6021 and is slidably and sealingly connected to the box body 6021. The volume of the internal space of the box body 6021 is 2-4 times that of the box body 6011. After the arc plate 6024 is squeezed by the drive unit 603, the push rod 6023 pushes the transverse plate 6022 to move inside and pushes the gas in the box body 6021 to the box body 6011 through the channel 6025, thereby realizing the movement of the transverse plate 6012.

[0041] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the driving unit 603 includes a longitudinal through groove 6031 formed on the side wall of the cocoon barrel 4, a slide rod 6032 provided at the end of the push plate 504 and slidingly engaged with the longitudinal through groove 6031, and a pressing ball 6033 provided at one end of the slide rod 6032. After the pressure plate 50511 enters the limiting groove 50513, the push plate 504 on the cocoon barrel 4 moves downward and drives the slide rod 6032 to move along the longitudinal through groove 6031, so that the pressing ball 6033 contacts and presses the arc plate 6024, pushing the push rod 6023 to move within the box body 6021.

[0042] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the power assembly 507 includes a support rod 5071 on the base 1, a reinforcing plate 5072 on the top of the support rod 5071, and a cylinder 5073 on the reinforcing plate 5072 for driving the lifting rod 502 to rise and fall. The cylinder 5073 drives the lifting rod 502 to rise and fall, pushing the push plate 504 to push the cocoons located in the storage cavity 506 out of the cocoon bucket 4, so that the cocoons float to the top of the cylinder 3. During the process of the cocoons floating, the cocoons are in full contact with water.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
