[0059] Example 1

[0060] This embodiment provides a yam automatic peeling device, such as Figures 1-4As shown, it includes an outer shell IV, and columns are provided at the four corners of the outer shell IV, which support the outer shell IV. A first multi-jaw chuck and a supporting mechanism are relatively coaxially provided inside the outer shell IV. The first multi-jaw chuck and the supporting mechanism together constitute a clamping mechanism I for the yam. The first multi-jaw chuck is used to cooperate with one end of the yam, and the supporting mechanism is used to cooperate with the other end of the yam. The first multi-jaw chuck and the supporting mechanism are connected to the rotating drive mechanism III. The rotating drive mechanism III can drive the first multi-jaw chuck to rotate around the axis of the support mechanism itself, thereby driving the yam to rotate. A cutting mechanism II is provided above the area between the first multi-jaw chuck and the supporting mechanism. The cutting mechanism includes a moving mechanism. The moving mechanism is connected to multiple groups of tool assemblies, which can drive the tool assemblies to move along the axis direction of the first multi-jaw chuck. The tool assembly is used to contact the yam and peel the yam in a rotating state.

[0061] A first jaw driving mechanism is also provided on one side of the first multi-jaw chuck, and the first jaw driving mechanism can drive multiple jaws of the first multi-jaw chuck to move, thereby realizing the switching between the clamping and loosening states of the yam.

[0062] The first multi-jaw chuck adopts the existing hollow three-jaw chuck I-3, including an annular chuck and three jaws I-4 located on the chuck. The three jaws can move radially along the chuck. The hollow three-jaw chuck I-3 can adopt the existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0063] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, a first claw driving mechanism is provided on one side of the first multi-claw chuck, and the first claw driving mechanism includes a telescopic component. In this embodiment, the telescopic component adopts an existing electric telescopic rod I-1. The fixed portion of the electric telescopic rod I-1 is fixed to the housing IV by bolts, and the end of the telescopic portion is rotatably connected to a telescopic shaft, as shown in FIG. Figure 14 As shown, the first bevel gear I-2 is integrally fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft, and the telescopic shaft matches the claw operating hole on the hollow three-jaw chuck I-3.

[0064] A claw motion drive component is provided on one side of the area between the first multi-claw chuck and the electric telescopic rod I-1. The claw motion drive component adopts a claw motion drive motor I-5. The claw motion drive motor I-5 is fixed on the second motor fixing plate IV-6. The second motor fixing plate IV-6 is fixedly connected to the outer shell IV. The output shaft of the claw motion drive motor I-5 is connected to the second bevel gear I-6. The second bevel gear I-6 matches the first bevel gear I-2 and can engage for transmission.

[0065] The electric telescopic rod (I-1) extends the telescopic shaft, which then inserts into the jaw operating holes of the hollow three-jaw chuck (I-3). Simultaneously, the first bevel gear (I-2) and the second bevel gear (I-6) engage, causing the jaws to move and drive the motor (I-5). The meshing of the first and second bevel gears (I-2, I-6) causes the telescopic shaft to rotate. Because the hollow three-jaw chuck (I-3) contains a bevel gear connected to the jaw operating holes and a flat thread structure that meshes with the bevel gear, rotation of the telescopic shaft drives the bevel gear. The meshing rotation of the flat thread propels the three jaws toward the center along the helical direction of the threads. The movement of the telescopic shaft, which drives the three jaws (I-4) via the bevel gear and the flat thread structure, and the corresponding structure can be adapted from existing technology; further technical details are not provided here.

[0066] As the jaws I-4 approach the center, they will clamp the yam clamped between them, thereby driving the three jaws I-4 of the hollow three-jaw chuck I-3 to move radially along the hollow three-jaw chuck I-3.

[0067] The electric telescopic rod I-1 is connected to a clamping controller I-9 located on one side thereof, and its operation is controlled by the clamping controller I-9.

[0068] In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism adopts a second multi-jaw chuck. Preferably, the second multi-jaw chuck adopts a hollow three-jaw chuck, which is used to clamp and fix the end of the yam. A second jaw motion drive mechanism is provided on one side of the second multi-jaw chuck. The structure of the second jaw motion drive mechanism is the same as that of the first jaw motion drive mechanism, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] Further, such as Figures 9-13 As shown, in the first multi-jaw chuck, a cutting knife I-7 is provided on the inner side of at least one jaw, and the cutting knife I-7 is located at the part where the jaw I-4 extends into the chuck, and is used to cut off the excess length of the yam. Preferably, only one jaw is provided with the cutting knife I-7.

[0070] Furthermore, in the first multi-jaw chuck, a clamping force detection element is provided on the inner side of at least one clamping jaw, which is used to detect the clamping force of the clamping jaw on the yam to avoid damage to the yam caused by excessive clamping force.

[0071] Preferably, the clamping force detection element uses a strain gauge I-8, and the strain gauge I-8 is connected to the clamping controller I-9, and can transmit the collected information to the clamping controller I-9.

[0072] A moving mechanism is provided above the area between the first multi-jaw chuck and the support mechanism. The moving mechanism can output movement along the axis direction of the first multi-jaw chuck and the support mechanism. The moving mechanism is connected to the tool assembly and can drive the tool assembly to move along the axis direction of the first multi-jaw chuck and the support mechanism. The tool assembly is used to contact the yam and peel the yam.

[0073] In this embodiment, Figure 15-16 As shown, the moving mechanism adopts a screw transmission mechanism arranged along the axis direction of the first multi-jaw chuck and the support mechanism, including a static guide rail II-4, which serves as a fixed part of the moving mechanism. The static guide rail II-4 is fixedly connected to the housing IV, and the two ends of the static guide rail II-4 are provided with screw supports, which are the first screw support II-6 and the second screw support II-12 respectively. The screw II-5 is rotatably connected to the two screw supports, and one end of the screw II-5 is connected to the mobile drive motor II-1 through a coupling II-13. The mobile drive motor II-1 is fixed to the motor mounting. On the plate II-14, the motor mounting plate II-14 is fixed on one end of the static guide rail II-4, the mobile drive motor II-1 is connected to the cutting controller II-15 fixed on one end of the static guide rail II-4, and its operation is controlled by the cutting controller II-15. The screw II-5 is connected to the moving box II-10, and the top of the moving box II-10 is slidingly connected to the static guide rail II-4 through the slider II-3. The slider II-3 and the moving box II-10 are detachably connected by bolts. The rotation of the screw II-5 can drive the moving box II-10 to move along the axial direction of the screw II-5.

[0074] The bottom of the mobile box II-10 is provided with multiple sets of tool assemblies. In this embodiment, Figure 17-Figure 19 As shown, two sets of tool assemblies are provided at the bottom of the mobile box II-10, and each set of tool assemblies includes two relatively arranged tool holders II-9. The two tool holders II-9 are symmetrically arranged relative to the vertical plane where the axis of the screw II-5 is located. The tool holder II-9 is fixed to the bottom of the mobile box II-10. There are four tool holders II-9 in total in the two sets of tools. The four tool holders II-9 are distributed in a rectangular array. The inner side surfaces of the two tool holders II-9 facing each other are elastically connected with a tool II-7. The tool II-7 is used to contact the yam and peel the yam.

[0075] In this embodiment, springs II-8 are provided at both ends of the tool II-7. One end of the spring II-8 is connected to the tool II-7, and the other end is connected to the tool holder II-9. The elastic connection between the tool II-7 and the tool holder II-9 is realized through the spring II-8.

[0076] Furthermore, a long hole is provided at the bottom of the movable box II-10, and the long axis of the long hole is arranged perpendicular to the output movement direction of the movable mechanism. The tool holder II-9 is fixedly connected to the movable box II-10 through the long hole and fasteners. The fasteners can be existing bolts and nuts. Through the long hole, the tool II-7 can be adjusted in position perpendicular to the movement direction of the movable box II-10. Combined with the elastic connection of the tool II-7 to the tool holder II-9, the peeling requirements of yams of different diameters are met.

[0077] At the same time, since the tool II-7 is connected to the tool holder II-9 through the spring II-8, it can cope with the problem of uneven surface of the yam and the processing quality is high.

[0078] Furthermore, the length of the knife II-7 is 5-10 cm and the width is 1-3 cm. The knife II-7 is made of stainless steel. It is understandable that the knife can also be made of other materials to meet the peeling requirements.

[0079] Furthermore, a photoelectric rangefinder II-2 is provided at one end of one side of the static guide rail II-4. The photoelectric rangefinder II-2 is fixed on a photoelectric rangefinder support. The photoelectric rangefinder support is fixed to the static guide rail II-4. The photoelectric rangefinder support is also fixed to the outer shell IV. Accordingly, the mobile box II-10 is provided with a sensor sheet II-11 matching the photoelectric rangefinder II-2. The photoelectric rangefinder II-2 is used to detect the distance between the mobile box II-10 and the end of the static guide rail II-4. The photoelectric rangefinder II-2 is connected to the cutting controller II-15 and can transmit the detected information to the cutting controller II-15 to facilitate the control of the cutting.

[0080] The first multi-jaw chuck is connected to the rotation drive mechanism III, which can drive the first multi-jaw chuck to rotate. The supporting mechanism is the second multi-jaw chuck, which is also connected to the rotation drive mechanism III. The rotation drive mechanism III drives the first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck to perform synchronous rotation.

[0081] like Figure 20-24 As shown, the rotation drive mechanism III includes a transmission shaft III-5, which is rotatably connected to the first transmission shaft bracket IV-3 and the second transmission shaft bracket IV-5 through the second bearing III-6. The first transmission shaft bracket IV-3 and the second transmission shaft bracket IV-5 are fixed to the housing IV. Figure 26As shown, the second transmission shaft bracket IV-5 adopts a double-hole plate, one hole of which is used to pass the transmission shaft III-5, and the other hole is used to pass the rotation drive motor III-8. A rotation drive member is provided on one side of the transmission shaft III-5, and the rotation drive member adopts a rotation drive motor III-8. The rotation drive motor III-8 is fixed on the first motor fixing plate IV-4, and the first motor fixing plate IV-4 is fixedly connected to the outer shell IV.

[0082] The rotary drive motor III-8 is connected to the transmission shaft through the first transmission mechanism. Preferably, the first transmission mechanism adopts the first gear transmission mechanism III-9. Specifically, the output shaft of the rotary drive motor III-8 is connected to the first gear transmission mechanism III-9 through the second flat key III-11. The first gear transmission mechanism III-9 is engaged with the transmission shaft gear set on the transmission shaft III-5, thereby realizing the power transmission of the rotary drive motor III-8 to the transmission shaft III-5.

[0083] The two ends of the transmission shaft III-5 are respectively connected to the first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck through the second transmission mechanism. The rotation of the transmission shaft III-5 can drive the first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck to rotate synchronously through the second transmission mechanism.

[0084] In this embodiment, the second transmission mechanism adopts a second gear transmission mechanism, including a first gear III-1 connected to the end of the transmission shaft III-5 through a first flat key III-10, the first gear III-1 is engaged with the intermediate gear III-2, the intermediate gear III-2 is engaged with the second gear III-3, and the second gear III-3 is coaxially fixedly connected to the multi-claw chuck.

[0085] In this embodiment, the intermediate gear III-2 is rotatably connected to the intermediate gear shaft IV-2 through the third bearing III-7, the intermediate gear shaft IV-2 is fixedly connected to the outer shell IV, the second gear III-3 is fixed to the outer end face of the multi-jaw chuck, the second gear III-3 fixed to the first multi-jaw chuck is rotatably connected to the first hollow shaft IV-1 through the first bearing III-4, the second gear III-3 fixed to the second multi-jaw chuck is rotatably connected to the second hollow shaft IV-7 through the bearing, the first hollow shaft IV-1 and the second hollow shaft IV-7 are fixedly connected to the outer shell IV, and a feed port corresponding to the first hollow shaft IV-1 is provided on the outer shell IV, and the operator can place the yam between the first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck through the feed port.

[0086] The rotation drive motor III-8 is working, which can drive the transmission shaft III-5 to rotate through the first gear transmission mechanism, and the two ends of the transmission shaft respectively drive the first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck to rotate synchronously through the second gear transmission mechanism.

[0087] like Figure 25-27 As shown, the housing IV is provided with a first transmission shaft bracket IV-3 and a second transmission shaft bracket IV-5 for installing the transmission shaft, the housing IV is also provided with an intermediate gear shaft IV-2, a first hollow shaft IV-1 and a second hollow shaft IV-7, the housing is also provided with a first motor fixing plate IV-4 and a second motor fixing plate IV-6 for fixing the various devices in the housing IV.

[0088] A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the shell IV. After the first multi-claw chuck and the second multi-claw chuck loosen the yam, the yam can fall from the discharge port under the action of its own gravity.

[0089] Example 2:

[0090] This embodiment provides a working method of the automatic yam peeling device described in Example 1:

[0091] Feed the yam from the feed port until it reaches the second multi-jaw chuck. The clamping controller I-9 controls the operation of the first jaw telescopic mechanism and the second jaw telescopic mechanism, driving the first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck to clamp the yam. At the same time, the jaws of the first multi-jaw chuck use the cutting knife I-7 to cut off the excess part of the yam. The cutting controller II-15 controls the rotation drive mechanism and the moving mechanism to operate. The first multi-jaw chuck and the second multi-jaw chuck drive the yam to rotate, and the moving mechanism drives the tool assembly to reciprocate along the axis of the yam. The yam is peeled with the tool, and the tool assembly reciprocates along the axis of the yam, so that the yam is completely peeled.

[0092] After the yam is peeled, the moving mechanism stops working, the rotating drive mechanism stops working, the first claw drive mechanism and the second claw drive mechanism start working, so that the first multi-claw chuck and the second multi-claw chuck release the yam, and the yam falls from the discharge port under the action of its own gravity.

[0093] In the automatic yam peeling device of this embodiment, during the peeling process, the movement of the tool assembly and the rotation of the yam are both performed automatically without manual participation, which further improves the degree of automation of the yam peeling work, improves work efficiency, and reduces labor intensity. Moreover, during the yam peeling process, the yam only rotates and does not move along its axial direction, which greatly reduces the volume of the device and the space occupied.

[0094] Example 3

[0095] like Figures 28-31As shown, in this embodiment, the support mechanism utilizes a turntable I-10. Accordingly, the corresponding claw motion drive mechanism and second motor mounting plate IV-6 are no longer required. The remaining structure is identical to that of Example 1. The circular surface of turntable I-10 is provided with a circular array of small cones for contact with the ends of the yam. The turntable is connected to the rotation drive mechanism. Specifically, turntable I-10 is also connected to the second gear, which meshes with intermediate gear III-2 and is rotationally connected to the second hollow shaft IV-7 via a first bearing III-4. The second hollow shaft IV-7 serves as the turntable shaft and is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0096] During use, after the yam enters from the feed port, one end thereof is connected to the first multi-claw chuck, and the other end abuts against the turntable. The rest of the working method is the same as that of Example 2 and will not be repeated here.

[0097] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
