DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in a variety of different ways as defined and covered below.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electromagnetic clutch brake for the automatic baling machine of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a rotating shaft 2 rotatably arranged on the frame 1 for connecting to the film coating shaft 100, a sleeve 3 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, a moving plate 4 rotatably sleeved on the sleeve 3 for connecting to a power source, a fixed plate 5 installed on the frame 1 and an armature 6 arranged between the moving plate 4 and the fixed plate 5, the rotating shaft 2, the sleeve 3, the moving plate 4, the fixed plate 5 and the armature 6 are coaxially arranged, the armature 6 is connected to the sleeve 3 through an internal spline 61 and can slide along the axial direction of the sleeve 3, the moving plate 4 is provided with a moving plate electromagnet 41 for adsorbing or releasing the armature 6, a spring 42 for abutting the armature 6 and pushing the armature 6 toward the fixed plate 5, and a brush 43 for supplying power to the moving plate electromagnet 41, and the fixed plate 5 is provided with a fixed plate electromagnet 51 for adsorbing or releasing the armature 6 and a power connector 52 for supplying power to the fixed plate electromagnet 51.

[0025] The electromagnetic clutch brake for the automatic baler of this embodiment has a shaft sleeve 3 fixed on the rotating shaft 2, an outer spline is arranged on the outer circumference of the shaft sleeve 3, an inner spline 61 is arranged on the center hole of the armature 6, and the armature 6 is sleeved on the shaft sleeve 3 so that the inner spline 61 is meshed with the outer spline. The armature 6 can drive the shaft sleeve 3 to rotate and slide along the axial direction of the shaft sleeve 3; when the moving plate electromagnet 41 is energized and the fixed plate electromagnet 51 is de-energized, the armature 6 is attracted to the moving plate 4 by the passive plate electromagnet 41. The armature 6 slides, and finally the armature 6 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 42 and is adsorbed on the movable plate 4. At this time, the armature 6 is out of contact with the fixed plate 5, and the power source drives the armature 6 to rotate through the movable plate 4, thereby causing the shaft sleeve 3 to rotate, and then drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate for power output; when the movable plate electromagnet 41 is powered off and the fixed plate electromagnet 51 is powered on, the armature 6 is attracted by the fixed plate electromagnet 51 to slide toward the fixed plate 5. At this time, the armature 6 is out of contact with the movable plate 4, and the fixed plate 5 brakes the armature 6, and finally the armature 6 is adsorbed On the fixed plate 5, the movable plate 4 is idle and the rotating shaft 2 is stopped; its structure is compact, and the switching of transmission and braking can be realized by electrically controlling the movable plate 4 or the fixed plate 5 to attract the armature 6. The electrical automatic control logic is simple, and the delay time of switching back and forth between the clutch transmission and the brake can be shortened, so as to accurately control the rotation amount of the film coating shaft 100, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the automatic film coating and automatic film cutting of the baler; on the one hand, the spring 42 can assist the fixed plate 5 in braking and shorten the braking time; on the other hand, when the power is off or the machine is shut down, the spring 42 can make the armature 6 abut against the fixed plate 5, so as to maintain the braking state, and prevent the rotating shaft 2 from driving the film coating shaft 100 to rotate, resulting in automatic unwinding or rewinding of the film on the film coating shaft 100; in addition, with the wear of the automatic baler during long-term operation, the distance between the movable plate 4 and the armature 6 and the distance between the fixed plate 5 and the armature 6 will gradually increase, which will cause the braking force and time to change. At this time, the machine can be shut down to increase or decrease the number of springs 42 according to the situation to compensate for the braking force.

[0026] In this embodiment, a first friction ring 62 is arranged between the moving disk 4 and the armature 6, and the first friction ring 62 is arranged on the moving disk 4 or the armature 6; the first friction ring 62 can increase the friction force between the moving disk 4 and the armature 6, avoid relative rotation between the moving disk 4 and the armature 6, and ensure that the transmission torque can meet the use requirements.

[0027] In this embodiment, a second friction ring 63 is arranged between the fixed plate 5 and the armature 6. The second friction ring 63 is arranged on the fixed plate 5 or the armature 6. The second friction ring 63 can increase the friction force between the fixed plate 5 and the armature 6, thereby ensuring the braking effect and shortening the braking time.

[0028] In this embodiment, the power source includes a driving pulley 7 and a driving device for driving the driving pulley 7. The driving pulley 7 is coaxially arranged and fixedly connected with the moving plate 4. The driving pulley 7 can drive the moving plate 4 to rotate around its axis. Optionally, the driving device is an electric motor, a hydraulic motor or an engine.

[0029] In this embodiment, it also includes a sensor 8 for monitoring the axial spacing between the moving disk 4 and the armature 6 or between the fixed disk 5 and the armature 6 and a controller for receiving the axial spacing signal monitored by the sensor 8, and the controller is electrically connected to the moving disk electromagnet 41 and the fixed disk electromagnet 51; the spacing between the armature 6, the fixed disk 5, and the moving disk 4 increases with the friction loss, so that the electromagnetic attraction torque of the moving disk electromagnet 41 and the fixed disk electromagnet 51 on the armature 6 becomes smaller, and after the sensor 8 detects that the spacing exceeds the set value, the voltage of the electromagnetic coil on the moving disk electromagnet 41 and the fixed disk electromagnet 51 can be automatically adjusted through electrical control to ensure that the electromagnetic attraction torque is reliable, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the braking time and torque. There is no need to adjust the spacing through the mechanical structure, which can extend the life of the electromagnetic clutch brake, reduce the shutdown time for adjustment, and reduce the manpower and material costs; when the wear reaches the limit value and the adjusted voltage cannot meet the electromagnetic attraction torque requirement, the controller prompts manual shutdown to adjust the mechanical structure gap.

[0030] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 31 is disposed on the shaft sleeve 3 to prevent the armature 6 from falling out, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0031] In this embodiment, a first bearing 32 is sleeved on the sleeve 3, and the movable plate 4 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 3 via the first bearing 32.

When baling is completed, the moving plate 4 is separated from the armature 6, and the fixed plate 5 is attracted with the armature 6 to brake the armature 6, thereby stopping the film coating shaft 100. The clutch and brake switching can be realized accurately and reliably. The baler of the cotton picker can realize automatic baling, laminating and automatic film cutting, and meet the requirements of continuous baling without stopping.
