Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a raw material conveying system, in particular to a cotton bale raw material unpacking and conveying system for a non-woven fabric production line, belonging to the technical field of non-woven fabric processing. Background Art

[0002] Nonwoven fabrics, also known as nonwovens, nonwoven fabrics, or non-woven fabrics, are made by first forming textile fibers into a web (composed of oriented or randomly arranged fibers) that is then bonded together through friction, cohesion, bonding, or a combination of these methods. Their key characteristic is that they are "unwoven." Nonwovens exist in the form of fibers, while woven fabrics exist in the form of yarns. This is a key feature that distinguishes nonwovens from other fabrics. Due to their high strength, breathability, water resistance, softness, and ease of processing, they are widely used in various industries.

[0003] During the non-woven fabric production process, cotton bales are wrapped in bags and tied with several straps. Currently, before the bales are added, the entire process of conveying the cotton bales, cutting the straps, removing the straps, cutting the bags, and removing the bags is all done manually. This is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Given the current challenges of rising labor costs and labor shortages, there is an urgent need for automated mechanical devices to complete the bale opening and conveying processes.

[0004] Prior art CN208036368U discloses a "cotton bale transfer and opening trolley," which primarily addresses the existing issues of cotton bale transfer requiring extensive manual labor, being time-consuming and labor-intensive, and dangerous to open. CN104909113A discloses an "automatic bale opening and feeding machine," which primarily addresses the production and transportation of compressed waste textile packages, which can pollute the working environment, result in low production capacity, require multiple steps, and incur high labor costs.

[0005] Therefore, a bale opening and conveying system for cotton bales used in non-woven fabric production is needed, which can open the bales while conveying them, reduce labor intensity, and improve efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient processes associated with manual transfer, tape cutting, tape removal, bag cutting, and bag removal in the non-woven fabric production process, a cotton bale opening and conveying system for non-woven fabric production lines has been proposed. This technical solution utilizes various conveyors, tape cutting devices, and bag cutting devices to ensure orderly conveyance of the cotton bales during the transfer, tape cutting, tape removal, bag cutting, and bag removal processes, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the following technical solutions are proposed:

[0008] The cotton bale raw material unpacking and conveying system used in the non-woven fabric production line includes conveyor I, a belt cutting platform, conveyor II, a bag cutting platform and conveyor III. Conveyor I is located in front of the workstation of the belt cutting platform, conveyor II is located behind the workstation of the belt cutting platform, the bag cutting platform is located behind the workstation of conveyor II, and conveyor III is located behind the workstation of the bag cutting platform. A continuous passage for conveying cotton bales is formed between conveyor I, the belt cutting platform, conveyor II, the bag cutting platform and conveyor III.

[0009] The ribbon cutting platform is provided with a ribbon cutting device, which includes a frame and a ribbon cutting mechanism and a waste ribbon grabbing mechanism provided on the frame. The ribbon cutting mechanism is provided on one side of the ribbon cutting platform and can slide on the frame to move away from or close to the cotton bale raw material; the waste ribbon grabbing mechanism is provided on the other side of the ribbon cutting platform and includes a manipulator I;

[0010] The bag cutting platform is provided with a bag cutting device, which includes a bottom bag cutting mechanism, a side bag cutting mechanism and a waste bag clamping mechanism. The bottom bag cutting mechanism is arranged directly below the bag cutting platform, and is used to cut the outer packaging bag of the cotton bale from which the strapping has been removed along the bottom diagonal line; the side bag cutting mechanism is located on one side of the bag cutting platform, and is used to cut the side of the outer packaging bag of the cotton bale from which the strapping has been removed; the waste bag clamping mechanism is located on one side of the bag cutting platform, and the waste bag clamping mechanism includes a robot II.

[0011] Furthermore, an electric clamping trolley is provided in front of the workstation of the conveyor I. The electric clamping trolley is used to transfer the cotton bale raw materials to the conveyor I, thereby reducing the labor intensity and ensuring the stability and orderliness of the cotton bale raw material unpacking process.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor I and conveyor II are both chain plate conveyors, and conveyor III is a belt conveyor. The limitation of the specific type of the conveyor can better cooperate with the cotton bale raw materials before and after the belt and bag are removed, thereby ensuring the stability and orderliness of the transportation.

[0013] Furthermore, a cotton opener is provided at the rear side of the workstation of the conveyor III, and a cotton feeding weighing machine is provided between the cotton opener and the conveyor III. This arrangement can effectively connect the cotton bale raw material opening and conveying process.

[0014] Furthermore, a waste tape collection device is provided on one side of the tape cutting platform, and the waste tape collection device is located at the rear side of the workstation of the waste tape grabbing mechanism. This device cuts, removes and collects the strapping tape on the cotton bale. On the one hand, it ensures the cleanliness of the working environment at the workstation and avoids the accumulation of strapping tape affecting the cutting and removal of the next cotton bale raw material; on the other hand, it prevents it from entering the conveyor II and the bag cutting platform, and affecting the subsequent transportation, bag cutting, bag removal, etc.

[0015] Furthermore, a waste bag collecting device is provided on one side of the bag cutting platform, and the waste bag collecting device is located at the rear side of the workstation of the waste bag clamping mechanism. This setting removes and collects the packing bags on the cotton bales after cutting. On the one hand, it ensures the cleanliness of the working environment at the workstation and avoids the accumulation of packing bags affecting the cutting and removal of the next cotton bale raw material; on the other hand, it prevents them from entering conveyor III and other work sections of the non-woven fabric production line (such as cotton feeding and cotton opening), and affecting subsequent transportation, weighing, etc.

[0016] Furthermore, the cotton bale raw material opening and conveying system also includes a controller, and the controller is connected to conveyor I, the belt cutting platform, conveyor II, the bag cutting platform, conveyor III, the belt cutting device and the bag cutting device through electrical signals.

[0017] The positional relationships involved in this technical solution, such as "front side of the workstation", "top", "back side of the workstation", "one side", "between", "front side", and "back side", are defined according to the actual usage conditions. They are conventional terms in this technical field and are also conventional terms used by technical personnel in this field in actual use.

[0018] The beneficial technical effects brought about by adopting this technical solution are:

[0019] 1. The utility model ensures the orderly transportation of cotton bales by means of the arrangement of various conveyors, belt cutting devices, bag cutting devices, etc., during the processes of transferring, belt cutting, belt removal, bag cutting, and bag removal of cotton bales, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0020] Second, this utility model improves the automation level and efficiency of the cotton bale conveying process, reduces labor intensity, and saves manpower. It also limits lateral movement of cotton bales during transportation (limited conveying on each conveyor), facilitating stable conveying of cotton bales. Furthermore, the automatic hooking of strapping and grabbing of baling bags facilitates centralized collection of strapping and baling bags, preventing them from being scattered. This allows for efficient, rapid, and reliable collection of discarded strapping and baling bags, saving labor and improving operational safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides: a cotton bale raw material unpacking and conveying system for a non-woven fabric production line, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes conveyor I1, tape cutting platform 2, conveyor II3, bag cutting platform 4 and conveyor III5. Conveyor I1 is arranged in front of the workstation of tape cutting platform 2, conveyor II3 is arranged behind the workstation of tape cutting platform 2, bag cutting platform 4 is arranged behind the workstation of conveyor II3, and conveyor III5 is arranged behind the workstation of bag cutting platform 4. Conveyor I1, tape cutting platform 2, conveyor II3, bag cutting platform 4 and conveyor III5 form a continuous passage for conveying cotton bale raw materials.

[0029] The ribbon cutting platform 2 is provided with a ribbon cutting device 6, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ribbon cutting device 6 includes a frame and a ribbon cutting mechanism 62 and a waste ribbon grabbing mechanism 63 provided on the frame. The ribbon cutting mechanism 62 is provided on one side of the ribbon cutting platform 2 and can slide on the frame to move away from or close to the cotton bale raw material; the waste ribbon grabbing mechanism 63 is provided on the other side of the ribbon cutting platform 2 and includes a manipulator I 64;

[0030] The bag cutting platform 4 is provided with a bag cutting device 7, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bag cutting device 7 includes a bottom bag cutting mechanism 71, a side bag cutting mechanism 72 and a waste bag clamping mechanism 73. The bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 is arranged directly below the bag cutting platform 4, and is used to cut the outer packaging bag of the cotton bale from which the strapping tape has been removed; the side bag cutting mechanism 72 is located on one side of the bag cutting platform 4, and is used to cut the side of the outer packaging bag of the cotton bale from which the strapping tape has been removed; the waste bag clamping mechanism 73 is located on one side of the bag cutting platform 4, and the waste bag clamping mechanism 73 includes a robot II 74.

[0031] In addition, the cotton bale raw material opening and conveying system also includes a controller, and the controller is connected to the conveyor I1, the belt cutting platform 2, the conveyor II3, the bag cutting platform 4, the conveyor III5, the belt cutting device 6 and the bag cutting device 7 through electrical signals.

[0032] Among them, the tape cutting device 6 and the bag cutting device 7 can adopt existing conventional mature technologies, such as: the tape cutting device 6 includes a frame, a tape cutting mechanism 62, a waste tape grabbing mechanism 63 and a driving cylinder. The tape cutting mechanism 62 is composed of a tape cutting blade, etc. The tape cutting mechanism 62 moves on the frame through a slide rail, driving the tape cutting blade to move closer to or away from the cotton bale raw material, and the driving cylinder drives the tape cutting blade to complete the tape cutting work; the waste tape grabbing mechanism 63 includes a robot I 64, which is used to move the waste tape on the cotton bale raw material away;

[0033] For example, the bag cutting device 7 includes a bottom bag cutting mechanism 71, a side bag cutting mechanism 72, a waste bag clamping mechanism 73 and a driving cylinder. The bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 and the side bag cutting mechanism 72 are both composed of bag cutting blades, etc. The bottom / side bag cutting mechanism 72 is driven by the driving cylinder to drive the bag cutting blades to approach or move away from the cotton bale raw material, and finally complete the bag cutting work; the waste bag clamping mechanism 73 includes a robot II 74, which is used to move the waste bags on the cotton bale raw material.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Example 1, in order to improve the automation of cotton bale raw material transportation and reduce manual labor intensity, this example further defines:

[0036] An electric clamping trolley 8 is provided in front of the workstation of conveyor Ⅰ1. The electric clamping trolley 8 is used to transfer the cotton bale raw materials to conveyor Ⅰ1, thereby reducing the labor intensity and ensuring the stability and orderliness of the cotton bale raw material unpacking process.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] On the basis of Examples 1-2, this example further defines conveyor I1, conveyor II3, and conveyor III5 to further illustrate this technical solution.

[0039] Conveyors I1 and II3 are both chain conveyors, while conveyor III5 is a belt conveyor. This specific type of conveyor is specifically designed to better accommodate the removal of cotton bales before and after the belts and bags are removed, thereby ensuring stable and orderly conveying. Chain conveyors include a conveyor frame, chain mechanism, drive mechanism (e.g., motor), side guards, rollers, etc., while belt conveyors include a conveyor frame, belt, drive mechanism (e.g., motor), side guards, rollers, etc.

[0040] Furthermore, the tape cutting platform 2 and the bag cutting platform 4 can be defined as mobile conveying platforms. That is, after the corresponding platform completes the corresponding tape cutting or bag cutting, the platform moves to transfer the cotton bales on the platform to the corresponding conveyor. In addition, the bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 in the bag cutting device 7 is located directly below the bag cutting platform 4. The bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 and the bag cutting platform 4 are arranged in a coordinated manner. Specifically, the bag cutting platform 4 is provided with an aperture that allows the bag cutting blade of the bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 to pass through. When the cotton bale to be cut is conveyed to the bag cutting platform 4, the bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 moves upward, and the bag cutting blade of the bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 passes through the aperture in the bag cutting platform 4 and moves to the outer packaging bag of the cotton bale until the outer packaging bag is cut. When the bag cutting process is completed, the bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 moves downward, driving the bag cutting blade of the bottom bag cutting mechanism 71 to exit the aperture in the bag cutting platform 4. In order to ensure the smoothness and high efficiency of the bag cutting work, the bag cutting blades can be arranged to be distributed diagonally along the bottom of the packaging bag, or the bag cutting blades can be arranged to slide diagonally along the bottom of the packaging bag.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] On the basis of Examples 1-3, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the ribbon cutting process, bag cutting process, and conveying process, this embodiment further defines:

[0043] A waste tape collection device 11 is provided on one side of the tape cutting platform 2. The waste tape collection device 11 is located at the rear side of the workstation of the waste tape grabbing mechanism 63. This device cuts the strapping tape on the cotton bale, removes and collects it. On the one hand, it ensures the cleanliness of the working environment at the workstation and avoids the accumulation of strapping tape affecting the cutting and removal of the next cotton bale raw material; on the other hand, it prevents it from entering the conveyor II 3 and the bag cutting platform 4, which affects the subsequent transportation, bag cutting, bag removal, etc.

[0044] A waste bag collecting device 12 is provided on one side of the bag cutting platform 4. The waste bag collecting device 12 is located at the rear side of the workstation of the waste bag clamping mechanism 73. This device removes and collects the baling bags on the cotton bales after cutting. On the one hand, it ensures the cleanliness of the working environment at the workstation and avoids the accumulation of baling bags affecting the cutting and removal of the next cotton bale raw material; on the other hand, it prevents them from entering the conveyor III5 and other sections of the non-woven fabric production line (such as cotton feeding and cotton opening), which affects subsequent transportation, weighing, etc.

[0045] Example 5

[0046] On the basis of Examples 1-4, in order to effectively connect the cotton bale raw material unpacking and conveying process, this embodiment further defines:

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, a cotton opener 9 is provided at the rear side of the workstation of the conveyor III5, and a cotton feeding weighing machine 10 is provided between the cotton opener 9 and the conveyor III5.
