Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton harvester technology, and more specifically, to a centrifugal air supply device for a cotton harvester. Background Technology

[0002] The cotton harvester collects the cotton and then blows it through an air supply device for centralized collection. Currently, most air supply devices consist of a fan and a motor that drives the fan, used for centralized cotton collection.

[0003] The existing centrifugal air supply device for cotton harvesters is usually fixed in its installation position and air supply direction. When it is necessary to adjust the air supply direction, it is quite troublesome, which affects the cotton harvesting efficiency of the cotton harvester. At the same time, it is inconvenient to install and disassemble the fan and to carry out maintenance work.

[0005] However, in actual use, due to different on-site application scenarios, when the vertical angle needs to be adjusted, the airflow direction of the fan cannot be adjusted vertically, which affects the use of the air supply device. Utility Model Content

A rotating plate is provided at the top of the positioning cylinder. An outer protective plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate. Two guide rods are inserted into the inner side of the outer protective plate. A rotating block is fixedly connected to one end of each guide rod. A lifting air supply mechanism is provided on the inner side of the outer protective plate. The lifting air supply mechanism includes a fixed frame, which is located on the inner side of the outer protective plate. A rotating groove is opened on the outer side of the fixed frame.

A servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame. Two fan blades are fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A deflection mechanism is provided on the inner side of the base plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding of the rotating groove and the rotating block provides a fulcrum for the air duct to rotate up and down inside the outer protective plate, and the two servo motors and the air duct form a dual air duct, which improves the efficiency and stability of air supply.

A connecting frame 11 is fixedly connected, and a servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 11. Two fan blades 13 are fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 12. A deflection mechanism is set on the inner side of the base plate 1. The rotating groove 8 on the inner side of the fixed frame 7 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating block 6. Two air ducts 9 form a dual channel, so that the two servo motors 12 can drive the two fan blades 13 to deliver air through the air ducts 9, thereby improving the air delivery efficiency of the two air ducts 9. When one of the servo motors 12 and the air duct 9 fails, the other servo motor 12 and the air duct 9 can continue to be used to maintain the continuous air delivery of the cotton harvester.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a push rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 11. A guide block 15 is rotatably connected to the outside of the push rod 14. A push plate 16 is inserted into one end of the push rod 14. Two screws 17 are inserted into the inside of the push plate 16. Two arc-shaped grooves 18 are opened on the outside of the outer protective plate 4. The inside of the arc-shaped grooves 18 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide block 15. Multiple insertion holes 19 are provided on the surface of the outer protective plate 4. The inside of the insertion holes 19 is threadedly connected to one end of the screws 17. By rotating the corresponding screws 17 on the outside of the two push plates 16, one end of the screw 17 is separated from the insertion hole 19 on the outside of the outer protective plate 4. Then, the push plate 16 is pushed to drive the guide block 15 on the outside of the push rod 14 to slide on the inside of the arc-shaped groove 18, thereby driving the air duct 9 to rotate, so that the up and down deflection angle of the air duct 9 can be controlled.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the deflection structure includes multiple auxiliary wheels 29. The tops of the auxiliary wheels 29 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate 3. A rotating rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 3. A turntable 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 20. Multiple toothed grooves 22 are opened on the outer side of the turntable 21. A positioning frame 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the positioning cylinder 2. The inner side of the positioning frame 23 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the turntable 21. The bottom of the positioning frame 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom. A servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A gear 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 24. A positioning frame 3 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning frame 23. The inner side of the positioning frame 3 26 is connected to the outer side of the output end of the servo motor 24. The positioning cylinder 2 is rotatably connected. A groove 27 is provided on the top of the positioning cylinder 2. The inner side of the groove 27 is slidably connected to the outer side of multiple auxiliary wheels 29. Multiple heat dissipation holes 28 are provided on the inner side of the positioning cylinder 2. The heat dissipation holes 28 are distributed in a ring array on the inner side of the positioning cylinder 2. The servo motor 24 drives the gear 25 to mesh with the tooth groove 22 on the outer side of the turntable 21, so that the turntable 21 can rotate inside the positioning frame 23, thereby driving the rotating rod 20 and the rotating plate 3 to deflect at the top of the positioning cylinder 2. The multiple auxiliary wheels 29 at the bottom of the rotating plate 3 can be slidably connected to the inner side of the groove 27 at the top of the positioning cylinder 2, so that the left and right deflection of the rotating plate 3 and the air duct 9 is more stable.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During the air supply process of the cotton harvester, when a vertical deflection of the air direction is required, the operator first uses a wrench or other tools to rotate the screws 17 on the inner side of the two push plates 16, so that one side of the screw 17 is separated from the insertion hole 19 on the outer side of the outer protective plate 4. Then, after the screw 17 is pulled out from the inner side of the push plate 16, one side of the push plate 16 is pushed, which drives the connecting frame 11 through the push rod 14 to push the air duct 9. At the same time, the guide block 15 on the outer side of the push rod 14 and the outer protective plate 4 are used to push the air duct 9. The two arc-shaped sliding grooves 18 on the inner side provide sliding guidance, allowing the air duct 9 to deflect up and down. During the up and down pushing process, the air duct 9 rotates through the rotating groove 8 and rotating block 6 on the inner side of the fixing frame 7, allowing the two air ducts 9 to deflect up and down. After the air outlet of the air duct 9 is deflected up and down to the appropriate angle, multiple screws 17 are reinserted into the inner side of the push plate 16, and then the multiple push plates 16 are rotated and threadedly connected to the corresponding insertion holes 19 to complete the up and down adjustment of the air outlet direction of the two air ducts 9.

[0029] After the vertical angle of the air outlet is adjusted, the two servo motors 12 drive the two fan blades 13 to rotate, so that air is discharged from the air outlet of the air duct 9. During the air discharge process, the servo motor 24 drives the gear 25 to mesh with the tooth groove 22 on the outside of the turntable 21, so that the turntable 21 can rotate inside the positioning frame 23. Then the turntable 21 will drive the top rotating rod 20 and the rotating plate 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating plate 3, the multiple auxiliary wheels 29 at the bottom will rotate inside the slide groove 27, so that the rotating plate 3 can rotate smoothly, thereby driving the two air ducts 9 to deflect left and right. Finally, the multiple heat dissipation holes 28 on the outside of the positioning cylinder 2 are used to ventilate the inside of the positioning cylinder 2, so as to avoid the continuous operation of the servo motor 24 causing the temperature to accumulate.

Electrical control components not mentioned in this technical solution are not shown in the figures because they are existing technologies, and will not be described here.
