Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feather processing, in particular to a straightening component for feather processing. Background Art
[0002] Feathers are an important component of badminton. Before processing, feathers will be slightly bent. Existing technology usually uses steam and pressure extrusion to straighten them.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN217526288U discloses a feather straightening device. The principle of its scheme is as follows: feathers are placed in the straightening groove of a cylinder and adsorbed and fixed by a negative pressure pump. When the feathers are straightened by steam compression, they are rotated by the cylinder to the mica in the arc-shaped insulation plate for heating, thereby drying the feathers passing through the straightening groove. The steam-straightened feathers will rotate with the cylinder, and then the feathers in the next straightening groove will repeat the above straightening process. When the dried feathers rotate with the cylinder to the area of the rubber sealing block, the straightening groove located directly below the rubber sealing block will be blocked by the rubber sealing block, so that the dried feathers will not be adsorbed in the straightening groove by the negative pressure and will directly fall into the collection box.
[0004] The above solution has the following problems: it requires the operator to manually place the feathers directly into the straightening groove on the outer wall of the cylinder to achieve loading. Therefore, there is a risk of operational error. For example, if the feather is not placed accurately in the straightening groove, the feather will not be fully adsorbed, causing it to deviate from the straightening groove or even fall out. Therefore, it is necessary to design a component that can replace manual loading to improve the quality of feather processing. Utility Model Content

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0050] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a straightening assembly for feather processing, comprising: a frame 1 and a cylinder 6 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, the cylinder 6 being hollow inside and having a straightening groove 7 for placing feathers on its outer wall; an adsorption component for generating negative pressure on the feathers placed in the straightening groove 7; in this embodiment, the adsorption component comprises: a suction hole 8 opened at the bottom of the straightening groove 7; a negative pressure pump 9 connected to the frame 1; a suction pipe 10 connected to the negative pressure pump 9 at one end, the other end of the suction pipe 10 being inserted into the hollow pipe 4 and extending into the inner cavity of the cylinder 6; a sealing block 11 being connected to one end of the suction pipe 10 located in the inner cavity of the cylinder 6, the sealing block 11 being in contact with part of the suction hole 8 on the inner wall of the cylinder 6;
[0051] The above technical solution can fix the feathers. The negative pressure pump 9 is started. The negative pressure pump 9 creates a negative pressure in the cylinder 6 through the suction pipe 10, and the feathers are sent to the straightening groove 7. The negative pressure of the suction hole 8 of the straightening groove 7 tightly adsorbs the feathers in the straightening groove 7.
[0052] like Figure 2As shown, the straightening assembly further includes a driving component for driving the cylinder 6 to rotate to switch the feathers. In this embodiment, the driving component includes: a No. 1 motor 2 connected to the frame 1; a No. 1 bevel gear 3 connected to the output end of the No. 1 motor 2; a hollow tube 4 having one end extending through and into the inner cavity of the cylinder 6, the other end of the hollow tube 4 being connected to a bearing of the frame 1; a No. 2 bevel gear 5 provided at the other end of the hollow tube 4, the No. 2 bevel gear 5 meshing with the No. 1 bevel gear 3;
[0053] The above technical solution can realize cyclic loading. The No. 1 motor 2 drives the No. 1 bevel gear 3 to rotate, the No. 1 bevel gear 3 drives the No. 2 bevel gear 5 to engage, the No. 2 bevel gear 5 drives the hollow tube 4 to rotate, and the hollow tube 4 drives the cylinder 6 to rotate, thereby switching to the next straightening groove 7. The above steps are repeated to suck the feathers into the straightening groove 7 of the cylinder 6 in turn.
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the straightening assembly further includes a straightening component for straightening the feathers after being adsorbed; in this embodiment, the straightening component includes: a first electric push rod 12 connected to the frame 1; a pressing block 13 having a steam hole 16, the pressing block 13 being connected to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 12; a steam generator 14 connected to the frame 1; a steam conduit 15 having one end connected to the steam generator 14, the other end of the steam conduit 15 being connected to the pressing block 13;
[0055] The above technical solution can be used to steam straighten feathers. When the feather fixed by negative pressure moves to the bottom of the pressing block 13, the first electric push rod 12 drives the pressing block 13 to move downward. At the same time, the steam generator 14 sends hot steam into the steam hole 16 of the pressing block 13 through the steam conduit 15. The hot steam adds steam to the feather, and the pressing block 13 is pressed into the straightening groove 7 to straighten the feather.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the straightening assembly further includes a drying component for drying the feathers. In this embodiment, the drying component includes: an arc-shaped heat insulation board 17 connected to the frame 1; a mica heating arc sheet 18 provided on the inner surface of the arc-shaped heat insulation board 17;
[0057] The above technical solution can be used to dry feathers. The surface of the straightened feathers contains moisture. The No. 1 motor 2 drives the cylinder 6 to rotate and rotates the feathers to the vicinity of the mica heating arc sheet 18. The mica heating arc sheet 18 heats and dries the feathers. When the straightening groove 7 rotates to the sealing block 11, the suction hole 8 is blocked, the negative pressure in the straightening groove 7 disappears, and the feathers fall under the action of gravity, completing the unloading.
[0058] like Figure 3As shown, the straightening assembly also includes a housing 25 with a discharge chute at one end, which is in contact with the outer wall of the cylinder 6. The housing 25 also has ventilation slots 26 on its surface; a box 30 with a discharge chute 31 at the bottom and for storing feathers, the box 30 is hingedly connected to a door, and the discharge chute 31 is connected to a through-hole formed at the top of the housing 25; an observation window 32 is provided on the outside of the box 30 for observing the remaining feathers;
[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the straightening assembly further includes a pushing component, which is used to push the feathers in the housing 25 to the straightening trough 7 after the feathers in the box 30 fall into the housing 25, so as to achieve intermittent feeding; in this embodiment, the pushing component includes: a second electric push rod 27 whose bottom is connected to the inner wall of the housing 25; a push plate 28 connected to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 27, and a baffle 29 is provided on the upper end of the push plate 28. In the pushing state, the baffle 29 blocks the discharge trough 31;
[0060] The above technical solution can achieve stable automatic loading. The door of the box body 30 is opened, the feathers to be processed are placed in the box body 30, and the door is closed. The second electric push rod 27 drives the push plate 28 and the baffle 29 to move, so that the baffle 29 opens the discharge chute 31, and the feathers in the box body 30 fall into the shell body 25 along the discharge chute 31 and in front of the push plate 28. The second electric push rod 27 pushes the push plate 28 to move in the direction close to the outer wall of the cylinder 6, and sends the feathers into the straightening groove 7. The negative pressure of the suction hole 8 of the straightening groove 7 tightly adsorbs the feathers in the straightening groove 7. Since the straightening groove 7 is in close contact with the discharge chute of the shell body 25, the feathers can be effectively prevented from falling. At the same time, the ventilation groove 26 opened on the surface of the shell body 25 can maintain the pressure balance inside the shell body 25, ensuring that the feathers can be sucked into the straightening groove 7.
[0061] Furthermore, the straightening assembly also includes an adjustment component for adjusting the distance between the discharge chute of the housing 25 and the outer wall of the cylinder 6. The adjustment component includes: a support plate 19 with a slide groove 20, the support plate 19 is connected to the frame 1; a slider 21 with a screw groove 24, the slider 21 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 20, and the slider 21 is connected to the bottom of the housing 25; a second motor 22 connected to the support plate 19; a screw rod 23 with one end connected to the output shaft of the second motor 22, and the other end of the screw rod 23 penetrates the slide groove 20 and cooperates with the screw rod groove 24;
[0062] The above technical solution can be used to adjust the distance between the discharge trough of the shell 25 and the outer wall of the cylinder 6 as needed. The second motor 22 is started to drive the screw 23 to rotate, and the screw 23 drives the slider 21 to slide in the slide 20. The slider 21 drives the shell 25 connected to it to slide relative to the outer wall of the cylinder 6, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance, preventing the gap from being too large and preventing feathers from falling out of the gap.
[0063] Working principle: When in use, first open the door of the box body 30, put the feathers to be processed into the box body 30, close the door, start the negative pressure pump 9, and the negative pressure pump 9 creates a negative pressure in the cylinder 6 through the suction pipe 10. The second electric push rod 27 drives the push plate 28 and the baffle 29 to move, so that the baffle 29 opens the discharge chute 31. The feathers in the box body 30 fall into the housing 25 along the discharge chute 31 and in front of the push plate 28. The second electric push rod 27 pushes the push plate 28 to move in the direction close to the outer wall of the cylinder 6, and the feathers are sent to the vicinity of the straightening groove 7. The negative pressure of the suction hole 8 of the straightening groove 7 is reduced. The feather is tightly adsorbed in the straightening groove 7, and then the No. 1 motor 2 drives the No. 1 bevel gear 3 to rotate, the No. 1 bevel gear 3 drives the No. 2 bevel gear 5 to engage, the No. 2 bevel gear 5 drives the hollow tube 4 to rotate, and the hollow tube 4 drives the cylinder 6 to rotate, thereby switching to the next straightening groove 7, and repeating the above steps to sequentially suck the feather into the straightening groove 7 of the cylinder 6. Since the straightening groove 7 is in close contact with the discharge groove of the shell 25, it can effectively prevent the feather from falling. At the same time, the ventilation groove 26 opened on the surface of the shell 25 can maintain the pressure balance inside the shell 25, ensuring that the feather can be sucked into the straightening groove 7;
[0064] When the feather fixed by negative pressure moves to the bottom of the pressing block 13, the first electric push rod 12 drives the pressing block 13 to move downward. At the same time, the steam generator 14 sends hot steam into the steam hole 16 of the pressing block 13 through the steam pipe 15. The hot steam adds steam to the feather. The pressing block 13 is pressed into the straightening groove 7 to straighten the feather. The surface of the straightened feather contains moisture. The No. 1 motor 2 drives the cylinder 6 to rotate and rotates the feather to the vicinity of the mica heating arc sheet 18. The mica heating arc sheet 18 heats and dries the feather. When the straightening groove 7 moves to the sealing block 11, the suction hole 8 is blocked, the negative pressure in the straightening groove 7 disappears, and the feather falls under the action of gravity, completing the unloading.
