[0018] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0019] The present invention provides a cotton feeding three-way device. Figure 1-2 As shown, the cotton feeding tee device includes: a tee component 17, the tee component 17 has three output ports, which are respectively connected to different downstream cotton boxes; two adjusting doors 10, the two adjusting doors 10 are both arranged inside the tee component 17, and are used to control the fiber flow through each output port; a cylinder seat 12, the cylinder seat 12 is arranged on the tee component 17; the cylinder 11, the cylinder 11 is arranged on the cylinder seat 12, and the cylinder 11 is used to drive the opening and closing of the adjusting door 10; the Y-joint 9, the Y-joint 9 is fixedly mounted on the output rod of the cylinder 11; the plug bolt 7, the plug bolt 7 is arranged on the Y-joint 9, and one end of the plug bolt 7 passes through the corresponding adjusting door 10; the nut 8, the nut 8 is threadedly sleeved on the plug bolt 7; a linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism is arranged on the tee component 17, and adjusts the other adjusting door 10.
[0020] In this embodiment, a tee assembly 17, the core component of the device, features three independent output ports that can be connected to different downstream cotton bins, enabling fiber delivery from a single blower to multiple bins. This tee design eliminates the need for additional blowers or complex delivery pipelines in traditional systems, reducing equipment cost and installation complexity while increasing system flexibility and adaptability. Two regulating gates 10 are located within tee assembly 17, each of which controls the flow of fiber through its corresponding output ports. Adjusting the opening of the regulating gates allows precise control of the amount of fiber flowing to different bins. A cylinder 11 is mounted on a cylinder base 12, which is fixed to tee assembly 17. The cylinder 11 drives the connected regulating gates 10 to open and close, or adjust their opening, through the telescopic motion of its output rod. A Y-joint 9 is fixed to the output rod of cylinder 11. One end of a driving bolt 7 extends through the corresponding regulating gate 10 and connects to the Y-joint 9, while the other end is secured by a nut 8. This connection ensures that the cylinder can stably and reliably drive the regulating gates. The presence of the linkage mechanism allows the movement of the two regulating gates 10 to be coordinated, avoiding the uneven flow distribution caused by independent control. Through a reasonable linkage design, the accuracy and stability of fiber distribution can be further improved.
[0021] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the linkage mechanism includes: a bearing 1 with a diamond seat symmetrically arranged on one side of the three-way component 17; a rocker arm A5 arranged on the corresponding bearing 1 with a diamond seat, one end of the two rocker arms A5 being hinged to the corresponding Y-joint 9 and the other adjusting door 10 respectively; and a connecting rod 6 hinged to the two rocker arms A5.
[0022] In this embodiment, by introducing a linkage mechanism, synchronous or coordinated movement between the two regulating gates 10 is achieved, thereby further optimizing the performance of the cotton feeding tee device. The bearing 1 with a diamond seat is symmetrically arranged on one side of the tee assembly 17, providing a stable support point for the rotation of the rocker A5. The design of the diamond seat may help to withstand the lateral force generated by the rocker during movement, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rocker. One end of the two rocker A5 is respectively hinged to the corresponding Y-joint 9 (driven by the cylinder 11) and another regulating gate 10 that is not directly driven by the cylinder. This connection method allows when the cylinder drives one regulating gate, through the transmission effect of the rocker A5, it can indirectly affect or drive the other regulating gate to perform corresponding movement. The design of the rocker A5 realizes mechanical linkage between the two regulating gates, so that their movements can be coordinated with each other, avoiding the problem of uneven flow distribution caused by separate control. Furthermore, because rocker A5 is directly connected to the regulating gate and the output of the cylinder, it can transmit power in real time and accurately, improving the system's response speed and precision. Connecting rod 6 is hinged between the two rocker A5s, forming a stable quadrilateral linkage. This design ensures that the relative positional relationship between the two rocker A5s remains unchanged during their movement, thus achieving synchronized or coordinated motion.
[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pin rod 13 for limiting position is slidably mounted on the cylinder seat 12 , and one end of the pin rod 13 is fixedly connected to the tee assembly 17 .
[0024] In this embodiment, a pin 13 for limiting position is slidably mounted on the cylinder base 12 and fixedly connected to the tee assembly 17. This design brings significant beneficial effects. The pin 13 is designed to be slidably mounted on the cylinder base 12, with one end fixedly connected to the tee assembly 17. This connection method ensures that the relative position of the pin 13 on the cylinder base 12 is fixed, while at the same time allowing it to slide within a certain range to accommodate the movement of the cylinder 11. The pin 13 acts as a physical limiter, which can limit the maximum stroke of the cylinder 11 and its driving components (such as the Y-joint 9 and the regulating gate 10) during movement. This helps prevent mechanical damage or failure caused by excessive extension or contraction of the cylinder, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire cotton feeding tee device. By precisely designing the sliding range and position of the pin 13, the positioning accuracy of the regulating gate 10 during the opening and closing process can be ensured. This is crucial for controlling the fiber flow through each output port and helps improve the product quality and consistency of the production line.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plexiglass plate A20 and a plexiglass plate B23 are provided on one side of the tee assembly 17, and a cross countersunk screw 18 and a hexagonal head bolt B19 for limiting are provided on the plexiglass plate A20. One end of the cross countersunk screw 18 and the hexagonal head bolt B19 are threadedly connected to the tee assembly 17, and a plexiglass plate B23 is provided on the other side of the tee assembly 17.
[0026] In this embodiment, by providing organic glass plates A20 and B23 on either side of the tee assembly 17, respectively, and using cross countersunk screws 18 and hexagonal bolts B19 for positioning and fixing, this design brings about multiple beneficial effects. Organic glass plates A20 and B23, as covers on both sides of the tee assembly 17, provide clear visual windows, allowing operators to intuitively observe the internal working conditions of the tee assembly 17, such as the opening and closing of the regulating door and the flow state of the fiber. This improves the transparency and observability of the equipment, helps to promptly identify and resolve problems, and reduces downtime caused by faults. It also facilitates daily maintenance and upkeep of the equipment.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, hexagonal head bolts A2 are symmetrically arranged on the diamond seat bearing 1, and the hexagonal head bolts A2 are threadedly connected to the tee assembly 17. The hexagonal head bolts A2 are provided with spring washers 3 and flat washers 4.
[0028] In this embodiment, hexagonal bolts A2 are symmetrically arranged on the diamond-shaped seat bearing 1 and threadedly connected to the tee assembly 17. Spring washers 3 and flat washers 4 are also installed on the hexagonal bolts A2. This design provides multiple beneficial effects. The hexagonal bolts A2 are symmetrically arranged on the diamond-shaped seat bearing 1 and threadedly connected to the tee assembly 17, thus achieving a stable fixation between the bearing and the tee assembly. This connection method ensures that the bearing can maintain a stable position and posture when subjected to the forces and torques transmitted by the rocker A5.
[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an adjusting shaft 22 is provided on the tee assembly 17 , and a hexagon socket set screw 21 with a concave end is provided on the adjusting shaft 22 . The hexagon socket set screw 21 is threadedly connected to the tee assembly 17 .
[0030] In this embodiment, an adjustment shaft 22 is provided on the tee assembly 17, and a hexagon socket set screw 21 is installed on the adjustment shaft 22 to achieve a threaded connection with the tee assembly 17. The adjustment shaft 22, as an important component of the tee assembly 17, is designed to allow fine-tuning of certain mechanisms within the tee assembly 17 (such as baffles, switches, etc.). This fine-tuning function is particularly important in equipment commissioning, maintenance, or adaptive adjustments during production. Through the adjustment shaft 22, the position or state of the internal mechanism of the tee assembly can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise control of parameters such as fiber flow direction and flow rate. This helps to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the production line and meet different production needs. The hexagon socket set screw 21 is installed on the adjustment shaft 22 and achieves a fixing and locking function through a threaded connection with the tee assembly 17. This design ensures that the position of the adjustment shaft remains stable after adjustment, preventing position deviation caused by vibration or external factors.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a shaft elastic retaining ring 14 is sleeved on the pin rod 13 .
[0032] In this embodiment, the shaft elastic circlip 14 is installed on the pin rod 13 as a common axial positioning element. The pin rod is firmly positioned on the tee assembly 17 through the preload force generated by its elastic deformation.
[0033] In summary, the three independent output ports of the three-way component 17 are designed to be directly connected to different downstream cotton boxes, which simplifies the problem of adding additional fans or complex conveying pipelines in traditional systems, reducing equipment costs and installation complexity; two adjustable regulating doors 10 are set, and the linkage mechanism of the cylinder 11 and the rocker arm A5 realizes synchronous or coordinated movement, accurately controlling the amount of fiber flowing to different cotton boxes, and avoiding the problem of uneven flow distribution; the diamond seat bearing 1 provides stable support for the rocker arm A5, and the pin rod 13 serves as a physical limit device to limit the movement stroke of the cylinder and its driving components, preventing mechanical damage and improving overall stability and reliability; organic glass plates A20 and B23 are set on both sides of the three-way component 17 to provide clear visual windows, which are convenient for observing the internal working status, timely discovering and solving problems, and also convenient for daily maintenance of the equipment.
