Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feather sorting technology, specifically, it relates to a badminton shuttlecock feather sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of competitive sports, badminton is a widely popular mass sport. The shuttlecock is an essential piece of equipment for this sport. It is made from a head, 12 to 16 feathers, string, and adhesive. The manufacturing process generally involves more than ten major steps, including feather selection, inserting the shuttlecock and applying adhesive, stringing, rolling the adhesive, and testing. Manual operations related to the feathers account for more than 50% of the overall badminton manufacturing process.

[0003] Existing technology, such as application number "202320365378.6", discloses an automatic feather sorting device. The above technical solution uses a conveyor line to transport feathers. After the feather detection sensor detects the feathers, it sends a photo-taking command to the AI ​​camera. The AI ​​camera distinguishes the feather types by taking photos and sends the information to the PLC control cabinet. The PLC control cabinet controls the corresponding solenoid valve to blow air according to the information sent by the AI ​​camera. The feathers are sorted into different sorting channels by the airflow blown out by the air nozzle, realizing automatic sorting of feathers. This can effectively improve production efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and reduce production costs.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned technical solution requires manual feeding of feathers. Since manual feeding is relatively disordered, if the feathers are fed too densely, it may affect the subsequent feathers when using pneumatic blowing for sorting. If the feather feeding speed is too slow, it will affect the sorting efficiency of the feathers.

[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a badminton shuttlecock feather sorting machine. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a badminton shuttlecock feather sorting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a badminton shuttlecock feather sorting machine, comprising a feather sorting device, wherein a conveyor belt is internally conveyed by the feather sorting device, and a feeding component is provided on the feather sorting device for timed feeding of feathers. The feeding component includes a mounting plate, a fixing block, a clamping component for clamping the feathers, and a driving component for driving the fixing block to rotate. The driving component includes a motor disposed at the top of the mounting plate, and the clamping component includes a fixed clamping plate disposed at the top of the fixing block and a movable clamping plate slidably disposed at the top of the fixing block. Multiple partition baffles are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is disposed on one side of the feather sorting device.

[0010] Furthermore, the main shaft of the motor is connected to a rotating shaft, and the fixing block is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the mounting plate is provided with a sliding ring, on which multiple balls rotate evenly, and the bottom of the fixing block is provided with a fixing cover, which is rotatably sleeved on the sliding ring.

[0012] Furthermore, a storage battery is installed inside the fixing block.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping components are provided in four parts.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the fixing block is provided with four fixing plates, and each fixing plate is provided with an electric telescopic rod on one side. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to a pressure sensor, and each movable clamping plate is connected to one of the pressure sensors.

[0015] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on each of the corresponding sides of the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention utilizes a feeding component that uses a clamping component to hold and limit the feathers. Then, under the action of a driving component, the feathers are transported at regular intervals. In conjunction with the conveyor belt, the feathers can be fed at a uniform speed, ensuring not only the efficiency of feather sorting but also that the feathers fall uniformly between the corresponding dividing baffles. Therefore, when using pneumatic sorting, it can avoid affecting subsequent feathers and improve the accuracy of sorting. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4According to an embodiment of the present invention, a badminton feather sorting machine includes a feather sorting device 1. The feather sorting device 1 has an internal conveyor belt 7. The feather sorting device 1 is equipped with a feeding component 2 for timed feeding of feathers. The feeding component 2 includes a mounting plate 3, a fixing block 5, a clamping component 6 for clamping feathers, and a driving component 4 for driving the fixing block 5 to rotate. The driving component 4 includes a motor 401 mounted on the top of the mounting plate 3. The clamping component 6 includes a fixed clamping plate 601 mounted on the top of the fixing block 5 and a movable clamping plate 605 slidably mounted on the top of the fixing block 5. Multiple partition baffles 8 are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt 7. The feather sorting device 1 described herein has the same sorting structure as the prior art with application number 202320365378.6, entitled "An Automatic Feather Sorting Device," and is therefore considered prior art. Therefore, its principle, structure, and model will not be described in detail here. In use, the driving component 4 can drive the fixing block 5 to rotate in increments, and the clamping component 6 can achieve feather sorting. The feather clamping component 6, located above the feed inlet of the feather sorting device 1, can open after rotating to the corresponding position, thereby removing the restriction on the feathers. The feathers then fall downwards into the feather sorting device 1 for sorting. The conveyor belt 7 can drive the falling feathers for sorting. The drive structure of the conveyor belt 7 can drive the pulley to move in an indexing motion, thus also driving the separator baffles 8 to move at fixed intervals and times, ensuring that each feather falls between the corresponding separator baffles 8. During pneumatic sorting, the separator baffles 8 prevent the feathers from falling to other positions, improving sorting accuracy. Workers can place the feathers in a suitable position, with the clamping component 6 on the side away from the feather sorting device 1 clamping them. Due to the action of the drive component 4, the feathers fall at fixed times and points, ensuring they fall between the corresponding separator baffles 8, thus maintaining the conveying distance between feathers and preventing the gas from affecting other feathers during air-blowing sorting, which could lead to inaccurate sorting.

[0027] Mounting plate 3 is set on one side of feather sorting equipment 1.

[0028] The main shaft of motor 401 is connected to a rotating shaft 402, and the fixing block 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 402.

[0029] The top of the mounting plate 3 is provided with a sliding ring 404, and multiple balls 405 rotate evenly on the sliding ring 404. The bottom of the fixing block 5 is provided with a fixing cover 403, which is rotatably sleeved on the sliding ring 404. The fixing cover 403 is rotatably mounted on the sliding ring 404 and can provide a certain support for the fixing block 5 and the clamping component 6, making their rotation more stable.

[0030] The fixed block 5 is equipped with a storage battery 501, which can power the pressure sensor 604 and the electric telescopic rod 603, thus preventing the wires from getting tangled.

[0031] There are four clamping components 6.

[0032] The top of the fixed block 5 is provided with four fixed plates 602. Each fixed plate 602 has an electric telescopic rod 603 on one side. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 603 is connected to a pressure sensor 604. Each movable clamping plate 605 is connected to one of the pressure sensors 604.

[0033] A limiting groove 606 is provided on each of the corresponding sides of the fixed clamping plate 601 and the movable clamping plate 605.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model patent for a badminton feather sorting machine is as follows: The driving component 4 drives the fixed block 5 to rotate in an indexing manner. The clamping component 6 clamps the feathers. The clamping component 6, located above the feed inlet of the feather sorting device 1, opens after rotating to the corresponding position, thus removing the restriction on the feathers. The feathers then fall downwards into the feather sorting device 1 for sorting. The conveyor belt 7 carries the falling feathers for sorting. The driving structure of the conveyor belt 7 drives the pulley to move in an indexing manner, thus also driving the separating baffle 8 to move at fixed intervals and times. The movement of the baffles ensures that each feather falls between the corresponding baffles 8. During pneumatic sorting, the baffles 8 prevent the feathers from falling to other positions, improving sorting accuracy. Workers can place the feathers in a suitable position, and the clamping component 6 on the side away from the feather sorting device 1 can clamp the feathers. Due to the action of the drive component 4, the feathers fall at fixed times and points, ensuring that the feathers fall between the corresponding baffles 8. This ensures the spacing between the feathers during transport and prevents the gas from affecting other feathers during air-blowing sorting, thus avoiding inaccurate sorting.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
