[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cutting the outer edge material of feathers to obtain the feather pieces needed for badminton shuttlecocks, and in particular to a cutting device for efficiently cutting feathers. Background Technology

[0002] The structure of feather 1 used to produce badminton shuttlecocks is as follows: Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes a feather shaft 2, with feather leaves distributed on the outer side of one end of the feather shaft 2. This feather 1 comes from the wings of domestic geese. After a batch of feathers 1 is collected, the process requires cutting from the middle area of ​​the feather 1, that is, removing the outer edge material of the feather 1, in order to produce a product like... Figure 3 The finished raw material shown.

[0003] The method for producing finished feathers from feather 1 in the workshop is as follows: A worker takes a feather 1 to be cut from a material basket, and then uses scissors to cut off the outer edge material of feather 1 to produce a finished feather. Figure 3 The finished raw material shown is shown; workers can repeat the above operation to continuously produce multiple required finished raw materials.

[0004] However, although the production method in the workshop can produce finished feathers, it requires manual cutting with scissors. Moreover, there are many feathers 1 to be cut, and workers have to cut them one by one. This not only increases the workload of the workers, but also takes a long time to cut all the feathers 1, thus reducing the production efficiency of finished feathers.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cutting device that can reduce the workload of workers and improve the production efficiency of finished feathers. Utility Model Content

[0039] The clamping and turnover mechanism 6 includes a longitudinally arranged lead screw and nut pair 18 and a slide 19 fixed on the right end face of the nut of the lead screw and nut pair 18. A plurality of clamping cylinders A20 are fixed on the right end face of the slide 19 at intervals, and the chucks A21 of the clamping cylinders A20 are arranged to the right.

[0040] The rotary indexing mechanism 8 includes a stepper motor fixed to the bottom surface of the worktable 7. The output axis of the stepper motor passes through the worktable 7 and a turntable 22 is installed on its extended end. Multiple feeding mechanisms 23 are arranged on the top surface of the turntable 22 along its circumference. The multiple feeding mechanisms 23 are evenly distributed on the turntable 22. The feeding mechanism 23 located on the leftmost side of the turntable 22 includes a base 24 fixed to the turntable 22 and a feed cylinder 25 fixed to the inner end face of the base 24. The piston rod of the feed cylinder 25 passes through the base 24 and a movable plate 26 is connected to its extended end.

[0043] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] S1, the worker takes out a... Figures 1-2 The feathers shown are placed along their length onto the top surface of the conveyor belt 17 of the conveyor 4.

[0045] S2, the conveyor belt 17 of the conveyor 4 moves the feather toward the through groove 16 of the vertical plate 11. After a period of time, the feather passes through the through groove 16 and enters between the two flat belts 29 of the double-layer flat belt conveyor 15 on the lower side.

[0046] S3, the drive motor 12 of the controller flipping and conveying mechanism 5 starts, the drive motor 12 drives the main shaft 13 to rotate, the main shaft 13 drives the two mounting plates 14 to rotate, the mounting plates 14 drive the double-layer flat belt conveyor 15 on it to rotate synchronously around the axis of the main shaft 13, the double-layer flat belt conveyor 15 on the lower side drives the feathers that have entered it to rotate synchronously. When the feathers rotate 180°, the controller controls the drive motor 12 to turn off. At this time, the feathers face the clamp A21 of the clamping and turnover mechanism 6.

[0047] S4. Control the start of the double-layer flat belt conveyor 15. The two flat belts 29 of the double-layer flat belt conveyor 15 run synchronously, moving the feather towards the clamp A21 of the clamping and turnover mechanism 6. When the feather moves out from the tail of the two flat belts 29 and enters the clamp A21, the controller controls the clamping cylinder A20 to start. The clamping cylinder A20 drives the clamp A21 to close, and the clamp A21 clamps and fixes the feather 1. Figure 11 As shown;

[0048] S5. The screw and nut assembly 18 of the control clamping and turnover mechanism 6 is started. The screw and nut assembly 18 drives the nut to move backward. The nut drives the slide table 19 to move backward. The slide table 19 drives the clamping cylinder A20 to move backward in sync. The chuck A21 of the clamping cylinder A20 moves backward in sync. The chuck A21 drives the clamped feather 1 to move backward in sync. When the sliding movement reaches the set stroke, the controller controls the screw and nut assembly 18 to close. At this time, the feather 1 is just facing the leftmost feeding mechanism 23 on the rotary indexing mechanism 8.

[0049] S6. Control the piston rod of the feed cylinder 25 of the leftmost feeding mechanism 23 to extend. The piston rod drives the movable plate 26 to move to the left. The movable plate 26 drives the two clamping cylinders B27 to move to the left. The clamping cylinders B27 drive the chucks B28 to move to the left. The two chucks B28 are respectively fitted onto the two ends of the feather 1. Then, control the two clamping cylinders B27 to start. The clamping cylinders B27 drive the chucks B28 to close. The two chucks B28 clamp and fix the two ends of the feather 1 respectively. Then control the clamping cylinder A20 to close. The chuck A21 no longer clamps the feather 1. Then control the piston rod of the feed cylinder 25 to retract. The piston rod drives the feather 1 to move towards the inside of the turntable 22, as shown. Figure 12 As shown;

[0050] S7. The stepper motor of the control turntable indexing mechanism 8 is started. The stepper motor drives the turntable 22 to rotate, and the turntable 22 drives the feeding mechanism 23 to rotate synchronously. The feeding mechanism 23 drives the clamped feather 1 to rotate synchronously. When the feather 1 rotates to the set angle, the controller controls the stepper motor to turn off. At this time, the feather 1 just enters the cutting station of the cutting mold 9. Figure 13 As shown, at this time, the piston rod of the control feed cylinder 25 extends, and the piston rod drives the movable plate 26 to move away from the turntable 22. The movable plate 26 drives the clamping cylinder B27 and the feather 1 to move outward. At this time, the feather 1 just moves between the concave mold 30 and the convex mold 32 of the cutting mold 9.

[0051] S8. Control the punch head 31 of the cutting die 9 to move downwards. The punch head 31 drives the punch 32 to move downwards. When the punch 32 engages with the die 30, the outer edge material of the feather 1 can be cut off, thereby producing the required finished feather. The finished feather falls from the die 30 to the bottom of the worktable 7, thus producing the first finished feather piece. The structure of the cut finished feather piece is as follows: Figure 3 As shown;

[0052] S9. Workers can continuously produce multiple finished raw pieces by repeating steps S1 to S8.

[0053] As can be seen from steps S1 to S9, the worker only needs to place the feathers 1 to be cut on the conveyor belt 17 of the conveyor 4. Then, through the coordinated operation of the flipping and conveying mechanism 5, the clamping and turnover mechanism 6, the turntable indexing mechanism 8, and the cutting mold 9, the feathers 1 can be continuously cut into the required finished feather pieces. Therefore, compared to workers using scissors to cut the outer edge material of the feathers 1, this method eliminates the need for manual cutting and achieves automated production of finished feather blanks. This allows for the production of multiple finished feather pieces in a short time, greatly improving the production efficiency of finished feather pieces.
