The carrier storage component 1 realizes the rapid collection and centralized cleaning of the winding long and thin fibers, and the cleaning does not affect the normal work. The cleaning component 2 realizes the winding by rotation and revolution. However, the existing method of rotation and revolution structure, the prior art does not propose a solution and technical inspiration to solve the long and thin soft debris such as long and thin corn silk.

[0069] The present invention uses a conventional structure for the carrier base 3, a rotating spindle assembly 4 to realize rotation, and a carrier rotating disk 5 to realize the installation of a carrier clamp 6, so as to facilitate the replacement of the taper sleeve. The elastic key 11 is elastically movable through the tapered shaft portion 7, the taper sleeve 8, the front top nut head 9, and the lateral through slot 10, so as to realize the clamping of the taper friction force.

[0072] In order to realize neutral gear, low speed gear and high speed gear through the fork frame 22, the fork arm 23 and the sliding gear set 24, the fingers can rotate and revolve, so as to complete the winding of the hair according to the adjustment. If the self-rotation winding speed does not match the revolution winding speed, the revolution speed is too fast, and effective winding cannot be achieved, and the cleaning is not clean, and it is impossible to use the long hair to carry the winding of the short hair. If the revolution speed is too slow, the efficiency is low. The present invention realizes effective rotation through three gears, and each indexing motor is preferentially rotated synchronously. In order to achieve synchronization, synchronization can be coordinated with a frequency converter. Of course, three synchronizations can be achieved through chain transmission.

The hand cone sleeve part 30 adopts a replacement setting, and winding is realized by the finger part 31. The support installation is realized by rotating the cone shaft part 32. The storage disk 34 integrates a funnel function, and the water tank part 35 is used to separate stones and bad corn kernels. The soaked corn kernels are output through the vibration output part 36. The inclined vibration part 37 realizes the screening of small particles and debris. At the same time, the waste box 39 and the sundry material box 42 are used to collect waste through accessories such as the blowing component 38. The guide plate 40 realizes the guiding setting, which is preferably inclined at 45 degrees. The vibrating screen conveyor belt 41 is vibrated by the cam to make the corn seeds fall and guide A conventional guide channel is installed on the frame 43 to realize the falling of corn seeds, and multi-stage output is realized through the collecting conveyor belt 44. The corn seeds are cleaned in the temporary storage box 45, which has built-in supporting components such as a stirring paddle or a water pump. The collecting conveyor belt 46 realizes the output of corn seeds 47, which is air-dried and can be equipped with side supports and cross baffles. Ventilation and water leakage are realized through mesh holes. The screened corn mixture is stored through the storage shell 48. The inner conical bottom 49 realizes the concentration of corn seeds, which is convenient for stirring and falling. The central falling channel 50 realizes the falling of corn seeds, the falling guide channel 52, and the flip conical baffle 51 use the conical surface to realize the falling of corn seeds. The blowing nozzle 53 realizes the blowing of debris upwards, and the upper part thereof can be equipped with a suction part, thereby realizing the collection of floating debris.
