[0002] Steel wool is a common cleaning product, usually made of fine metal wire. It is tough and has strong cleaning power, making it suitable for cleaning stubborn stains such as burnt residue on the bottom of pots, grease on stoves, and rust on baking trays. It is convenient to use and has high cleaning efficiency. However, due to its high friction, it can easily scratch non-stick pans, glass, and ceramic surfaces. Therefore, the appropriate cleaning tool should be selected according to the material. Steel wool is formed by a steel wool ball forming machine and then fed through the feeding port. In current technology, baskets are placed at the feeding port, and then manually monitored. When the basket is full, it is manually replaced. Workers then carry away the basket full of cleaning balls to proceed to the next step. This method is inefficient and the workers' workload is high, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency.

The output of the automation controller 31 is connected to the input of the basket supply servo motor 23, the turntable servo motor 5, the motor reducer 4, the basket delivery conveyor belt 16, and the basket delivery conveyor belt 19. The automation controller 31 is configured as a microcontroller, which is an integrated circuit chip.This is a small but complete microcomputer system that integrates a central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), various I / O ports, interrupt system, timer / counter, and other functions onto a single silicon chip using very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) technology. The input terminal of the automation controller 31 is connected to a weighing sensor 32. A weighing sensor is a measuring element that converts the pressure, tension, or weight of an object into an electrical signal output. It is widely used in electronic scales, industrial weighing, automatic batching, packaging equipment, and production line control. It typically employs the strain gauge principle and features high accuracy, good stability, fast response, and high reliability. It can accurately collect and transmit weight data and is a core component of modern weighing systems. The weighing sensor 32 is positioned between the receiving basket carrier plate 8 and the weighing plate 9. The weighing sensor 32 is used to detect the weight of the steel wool in the basket on the load-bearing plate 9 and transmit the detection result to the automation controller 31 for processing.
[0025] The output shaft of the turntable servo motor 5 is connected to the input shaft of the motor reducer 4, and the output shaft of the motor reducer 4 is connected to the turntable 6.
[0026] The eight connecting rods 7 are evenly distributed in a ring on the outside of the turntable 6, and the basket pusher 12 is connected to the output shaft of the basket electric pusher 11.
[0027] The covering film 10 is disposed on the top of the track groove 28, and the output shaft of the basket supply servo motor 23 passes through the motor mounting bracket 22 and extends to its top.
[0028] Two basket supply servo motors 23 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the basket feeding conveyor belt 19, and the pusher shaft 24 is connected to the output shaft of the basket supply servo motor 23.
[0029] The two pusher racks 25 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the basket feeding conveyor belt 19, and the inner ring 27 of the track groove is welded to the ring machine base 1.
[0030] The ball 30 is in rolling connection with the bottom end of the track shift column 29, and the diameter of the track shift column 29 is adapted to the distance between the inner ring 27 and the outer ring 26 of the track groove.
[0031] The track shifting column 29 is slidably connected to the track groove 28, and the track shifting column 29 is welded to the bottom of the receiving basket carrier plate 8 at the corresponding position.
[0032] The microcontroller model is set to M68HC16, and the weighing sensor 32 model is set to CZL601.
[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: When using this invention, the circular machine platform 1 is placed below the feeding port of the steel wool ball-making machine. Then, the basket is placed on the basket feeding conveyor belt 19. The automation controller 31 starts the basket feeding conveyor belt 19 and simultaneously starts the basket supply servo motor 23. The basket supply servo motor 23 drives the pusher frame 25 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the basket feeding conveyor belt 19 and the rotating pusher frame 25, the baskets are pushed one by one onto the receiving basket carrier plate 8. Then, each time a basket is pushed onto the receiving basket carrier plate 8, the weight can be sensed by the weighing sensor 32. At this time, the automation controller 31 determines that the basket is on the receiving basket carrier plate 8 and starts the turntable servo motor 5, which drives the turntable 6 to rotate through the motor reducer 4, thereby changing the receiving basket carrier plate 8 at the basket feeding conveyor belt 19. As the feeding port of the steel wool ball-making machine continuously feeds into the basket, the weighing sensor 32 will detect the weight of the basket in real time. When the weight reaches the predetermined weight range (such as 1500g±25g), the automation controller 31 determines that the basket is full. Then, the turntable servo motor 5 is started, causing the turntable 6 to rotate, so that a new basket is placed at the feeding port of the steel wool ball-making machine to continue collecting steel wool. As the baskets are continuously collected and replaced, the baskets full of steel wool will move continuously towards the basket delivery conveyor belt 16. After the turntable 6 rotates once, the automation controller 31 controls the basket electric push rod 11 to start. The basket electric push rod 11 drives the basket pusher 12 to move. The basket pusher 12 pushes the basket full of steel wool onto the basket delivery conveyor belt 16. This cycle is repeated to quickly collect steel wool. The basket electric push rod 11 is suspended on the top of the circular machine platform 1 by the hanger 13 to facilitate the operation of the basket electric push rod 11. This allows the present invention to automatically collect steel wool, automatically load steel wool into baskets and deliver them out. The basket full of steel wool is sent to the next processing equipment by the conveyor belt. No manual handling or collection is required. The whole process is automated, which significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers and greatly improves processing efficiency. It is conducive to improving production efficiency, so the actual use effect of the present invention is good.
[0034] Working principle of this invention: Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 Appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 8When using this invention, the structure including a turntable 6, a collection basket carrier plate 8, a basket electric push rod 11, and a pusher frame 25 enables the invention to automatically collect steel wool, automatically load the steel wool into the basket and send it out, and then send the basket full of steel wool to the next processing equipment via a conveyor belt. No manual handling or collection is required, and the entire process is automated, which significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers, greatly improves processing efficiency, and helps to improve production efficiency, resulting in good practical application effects of this invention.
