Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton baling machine technology, and in particular, to a seed cotton baling test device. Background Technology

[0002] Cotton balers are large-scale agricultural harvesting machinery. Before the finished machine is produced, it needs to undergo a packaging and debugging process.

[0003] Due to site and seasonal limitations, cotton baler debugging operations cannot be conducted during regular cotton picking. They must be performed on already picked seed cotton within the factory. There are typically two methods: one is manual feeding, where seed cotton is manually fed into the machine through an air duct at the rear of the picking head. The cotton is then drawn into the baler's collection box by its built-in pneumatic conveying system for baling and debugging. Each baling and debugging operation requires approximately 2.2 tons of cotton and usually requires 6 people working continuously for 2 hours to complete one cycle. This method is relatively inefficient. The first method is low efficiency but high labor intensity. The second method uses a cotton loader to feed the cotton directly into the collection box, thus completing the baling experiment. This method is more efficient, but the seed cotton tends to clump together after repeated use, and it also becomes large lumps after being squeezed by the loader, often causing machine blockage. In addition, the loader requires professional operators, increasing labor costs. Furthermore, both methods require the use of forklifts to transfer cotton bales after baling, and manual work is required to unpack the cotton bales and stack the seed cotton. The seed cotton is also difficult to clean during the transfer and stacking process, and it is easy for the seed cotton to scatter and be difficult to clean, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a seed cotton baling test device to solve the technical problems of high labor cost, high labor intensity, and easy scattering of seed cotton during disassembly and stacking in the existing cotton baling machine baling test.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a seed cotton baling test device is provided for conducting baling tests on cotton picking balers, comprising:

[0006] The supporting frame, used as structural support, has a packing machine station and a film breaking station;

[0007] The top hopper, located on the support frame and above the baling machine station, is used to store seed cotton, and the bottom of the top hopper has a discharge port.

[0008] A feeding device is installed in the top hopper and is used to output the seed cotton in the top hopper from the outlet of the top hopper to the inlet of the cotton picking baler at the baler station.

[0009] The main conveyor belt is located on one side of the baling machine station and is used to receive and transport cotton bales output by the cotton picking baling machine. The film breaking station is located between the two ends of the main conveyor belt.

[0010] The bottom hopper is located below the outlet end of the main conveyor belt and is used to receive the seed cotton output by the main conveyor belt.

[0011] A transfer mechanism is used to transfer seed cotton from the bottom hopper to the top hopper.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the seed cotton baling test device also includes a film winding mechanism disposed on the bottom hopper, which is used to hook and wind the baling film output from the main conveyor belt so as to separate the baling film from the seed cotton.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the film winding mechanism includes a film winding roller disposed between the bottom hopper and the outlet end of the main conveyor belt, and the outer wall of the film winding roller is provided with a plurality of spike structures for hooking and winding the film in the radial direction.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the baling machine station is equipped with a limit mechanism to restrict the stopping position of the cotton picking baling machine at the baling machine station, thereby matching the position of the cotton picking baling machine's feed inlet and the position of the seed cotton delivered by the feeding device.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the transfer mechanism includes a traveling truss disposed on the support frame, a traveling mechanism disposed on the traveling truss, and a grab bucket disposed on the traveling mechanism. The grab bucket is used to grab seed cotton in the bottom hopper, and the traveling mechanism is used to drive the grab bucket to move along the traveling truss.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a height detection unit is provided above the baling machine station to detect the stacking height of seed cotton inside the cotton picking and baling machine.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the feeding device includes a centripetal auger disposed in the top, a top conveyor belt disposed at the discharge port of the top hopper, a cotton discharge roller disposed between the top conveyor belt and the discharge port, and a discharge cylinder disposed below the outlet end of the top conveyor belt. The centripetal auger is used to disperse the seed cotton and gather it toward the discharge port. The cotton discharge roller is used to disperse the seed cotton falling from the discharge port and then convey it to the discharge cylinder via the top conveyor belt.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom hopper is provided with a moving mechanism, which is used to move the bottom hopper to below the outlet end of the main conveyor belt or to below the transfer mechanism.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the moving mechanism includes a guide rail disposed on the support frame, a winch mechanism disposed on the support frame and located outside the first end of the moving range of the bottom hopper, a traction rope wound around the winch mechanism, and a fixed pulley disposed outside the second end of the moving range of the bottom hopper.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This experimental setup utilizes a support frame. A cotton baler is positioned at its workstation. Seed cotton is stored in a top hopper located above the workstation and transported to the cotton box of the baler via a feeding device. This top-feeding method significantly increases the amount of seed cotton fed per unit time, improving efficiency. The baler then bales the seed cotton. The bales are output from the tail end of the baler and fall onto the main conveyor belt. A film-breaking station is located on the main conveyor belt, where the film on the cotton bales is broken using a robotic arm or manually. The broken cotton bales are further conveyed by the main conveyor belt, causing the scattered seed cotton to fall into the bottom hopper. Then, the seed cotton in the bottom hopper is transferred to the top hopper by the transfer mechanism, allowing the baling test to continue. Seed cotton feeding, cotton bale transfer, and seed cotton transfer are all realized by this device, eliminating the need to use forklifts to transfer cotton bales, avoiding manual handling, reducing labor intensity and debugging costs. On the other hand, the cotton bales are only transferred between hoppers. After the cotton bales are formed, they fall into the main conveyor belt. Seed cotton avoids ground accumulation during intermediate transfer and baling, reducing environmental pollution and cleaning costs.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered below.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the seed cotton baling test device of this embodiment is used to conduct baling tests on the cotton baling machine 5, and includes:

[0033] Support frame 1, used as structural support, has a packing machine station 6 and a film breaking station;

[0034] The top hopper 2 is set on the support frame 1 and located above the baler station 6. It is used to store seed cotton. The bottom of the top hopper 2 is provided with a discharge port 3.

[0035] The feeding device 27 is installed in the top hopper 2 and is used to output the seed cotton in the top hopper 2 from the discharge port 3 of the top hopper 2 to the inlet 4 of the cotton picking baler 5 on the baler station 6.

[0036] The main conveyor belt 9 is located on one side of the baling machine station 6 and is used to receive and transport the cotton bales 8 output by the cotton picking baling machine 5. The film breaking station is located between the two ends of the main conveyor belt 9. The main conveyor belt 9 is equipped with an active roller driven by the first drive motor 25 and a plurality of evenly distributed idler rollers 10.

[0037] Bottom hopper 13 is located below the outlet end of the main conveyor belt 9 and is used to receive seed cotton output by the main conveyor belt 9;

[0038] The transfer mechanism is used to transfer the seed cotton in the bottom hopper 13 to the top hopper 2.

[0039] The inlet of the top hopper 2 is located at the top of the top hopper 2, and the size of the inlet of the top hopper 2 is larger than the size of the outlet 3 of the top hopper 2.

[0040] Understandably, this experimental setup is constructed using a support frame 1. The cotton baler 5 is positioned at the baler station 6. Seed cotton is stored in the top hopper 2 located above the baler station 6. The seed cotton is then fed into the cotton box 32 of the cotton baler 5 via the feeding device 27. This top-feeding method significantly increases the amount of seed cotton fed per unit time, improving efficiency. The cotton baler 5 bales the seed cotton, and the bales 8 are output from the tail end of the cotton baler 5 and fall onto the main conveyor belt 9. A film-breaking station is located on the main conveyor belt 9, where the cotton bales are broken by mechanical structures such as robotic arms or manually. The film of bale 8 is further conveyed by the main conveyor belt 9 to break the cotton bale 8, so that the scattered seed cotton falls into the bottom hopper 13. Then, the seed cotton in the bottom hopper 13 is transferred to the top hopper 2 by the transfer mechanism, so that the baling test can continue. The feeding of seed cotton, the transfer of cotton bale 8 and the transfer of seed cotton are all realized by this device. There is no need to use a forklift to transfer cotton bale 8, avoiding manual handling operations, reducing labor intensity and debugging costs. On the other hand, cotton bale 8 is only transferred between hoppers. After the cotton bale 8 is formed, it falls into the main conveyor belt 9. During the intermediate transfer and baling process, the seed cotton avoids the accumulation of material on the ground, reducing environmental pollution and cleaning costs.

[0041] In one embodiment, the seed cotton baling test device further includes a film winding mechanism disposed on the bottom hopper 13, which is used to hook and wind the wrapping film output from the main conveyor belt 9 to separate the wrapping film from the seed cotton. The wrapping film is recovered through the film winding mechanism, separating the seed cotton from the wrapping film and recovering the wrapping film into a roll, thereby reducing labor intensity.

[0042] Specifically, the film winding mechanism includes a film winding roller 14 located between the bottom hopper 13 and the outlet end of the main conveyor belt 9. The outer wall of the film winding roller 14 is provided with multiple spike structures for hooking and winding the film in the radial direction. During the process of the torn film and seed cotton falling from the conveyor belt to the bottom hopper 13, the film winding roller 14 hooks and winds the film to separate the film from the seed cotton and recycles the film into a roll. The film winding roller 14 is connected to the first drive roller 11 of the main conveyor belt 9 through a transmission structure 22, and the two rotate synchronously.

[0043] In one embodiment, the baling machine station 6 is provided with a limiting mechanism 7, which is used to limit the stopping position of the cotton picking baler 5 at the baling machine station 6, so that the feeding port 4 of the cotton picking baler 5 and the position of the seed cotton delivered by the feeding device 27 are matched, so that when the cotton picking baler 5 stops and cooperates with the limiting mechanism 7, it is located below the outlet end of the feeding device 27, and the delivered seed cotton falls into the feeding port 4 on the cotton box 32 of the cotton picking baler 5.

[0044] In one embodiment, baffles 18 are respectively provided on both sides of the main conveyor belt 9 at or after the film breaking station to prevent the seed cotton that has been broken from falling off the main conveyor belt 9; wherein, a pressing belt 26 is provided between the baffles 18 and the main conveyor belt 9 to prevent the seed cotton from leaking out through the gap between the two.

[0045] In one embodiment, the transfer mechanism includes a traveling truss 21 disposed on the support frame 1, a traveling mechanism 20 disposed on the traveling truss 21, and a grab bucket 19 disposed on the traveling mechanism 20. The grab bucket 19 is used to grab seed cotton in the bottom hopper 13. The traveling mechanism 20 is used to drive the grab bucket 19 to move along the traveling truss 21. After the bottom hopper 13 is full, the grab bucket 19 grabs the seed cotton in the bottom hopper 13, raises it, and then moves it through the traveling mechanism 20 to the top hopper 2 before releasing it so that the seed cotton falls into the top hopper 2.

[0046] In one embodiment, a height detection unit is provided above the baling machine station 6 to detect the stacking height of seed cotton in the cotton picking baling machine 5. The height detection unit can be a laser sensor, which is linked with the feeding device 27 to control the feeding to stop when the stacking height reaches the limit.

[0047] In one embodiment, the feeding device 27 includes a centripetal auger 28 disposed in the top, a top conveyor belt 29 disposed in the discharge port 3 of the top hopper 2, a second drive roller 31 for connecting a driver to drive the top conveyor belt 29, a cotton discharge roller 30 disposed between the top conveyor belt 29 and the discharge port, and a discharge cylinder disposed below the outlet end of the top conveyor belt 29. The centripetal auger 28 is used to break up the seed cotton and make the seed cotton gather towards the discharge port 3. The cotton discharge roller 30 is used to break up the seed cotton falling from the discharge port 3 and then convey it to the discharge cylinder via the top conveyor belt 29. The centripetal auger 28 and the cotton discharge roller 30 fully break up the seed cotton, making most of the cotton that has been compressed into clumps due to packaging loose.

[0048] In one embodiment, the bottom hopper 13 is provided with a moving mechanism to move the bottom hopper 13 to below the outlet end of the main conveyor belt 9 or to below the transfer mechanism. By setting the moving mechanism, when the main conveyor belt 9 feeds material, the middle part of the bottom hopper 13 is located directly below the outlet end of the main conveyor belt 9, ensuring that the seed cotton is stacked in the middle of the bottom hopper 13. When grabbing and transferring, the bottom hopper 13 is moved out for grabbing, thereby improving storage capacity and grabbing efficiency.

[0049] In one embodiment, the moving mechanism includes a guide rail 15 disposed on the support frame 1, a traveling wheel 23 disposed at the bottom of the bottom hopper 13 for cooperating with the guide rail 15, a winch mechanism 16 disposed on the support frame 1 and located outside the first end of the moving range of the bottom hopper 13, a traction rope wound around the winch mechanism 16, and a fixed pulley 12 disposed outside the second end of the moving range of the bottom hopper 13. The bottom hopper 13 is slidably connected to the guide rail 15. The first end of the traction rope is connected to the first end of the bottom hopper 13, and the second end of the traction rope is connected to the second end of the bottom hopper 13 after being turned by the fixed pulley 12. The winch mechanism 16 includes a second drive motor 24. The movement and direction of the bottom hopper 13 are controlled by the forward and reverse rotation of the second drive motor 24 through the traction rope. For ease of control, proximity switches are respectively provided at the grab position of the grab bucket 19 and the receiving position below the outlet end of the main conveyor belt 9. The second drive motor 24 automatically stops after reaching the position.

[0050] It should be understood that this experimental device is equipped with an electrical control box 17 to control the feeding device 27, the main conveyor belt 9, the moving mechanism, etc. Its structure and control method are based on existing technology and will not be elaborated on further.
