Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silk reeling machine technology, and more specifically, to a cocoon return bucket structure for a silk reeling machine. Background Technology
[0002] The cocoon return hopper of a silk reeling machine is a facility for collecting cocoons after reeling. During the silk reeling process, the cocoons that have fallen from the reeling trough are separated by a separator. Cocoons that can continue reeling are conveyed back to the reeling pot by a conveyor belt for further reeling. Because the surface of the cocoons may have fine fibers, some often fall back to the outside of the separator instead of being sent to the pot, requiring manual cleaning. If not cleaned in time, the cocoons are prone to rotting, inevitably causing waste and increasing reeling failures.
[0003] Currently, the common practice is to install a cocoon drop trough under the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt descends, the cocoons fall into the drop trough, and water flow washes the cocoons in the drop trough into the cocoon return hopper. However, some very thin cocoons may stick to the conveyor belt and cannot return to the cocoon drop trough, and will fall to the ground as the conveyor belt descends. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cocoon return bucket structure for a silk reeling machine, which can recycle cocoons that are tightly attached to the conveyor belt, avoiding waste and eliminating the need for manual cleaning, thus reducing labor intensity.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A cocoon return hopper structure for a silk reeling machine includes a conveyor belt and a circular grid separating disc. Baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt, and a cocoon drop channel is formed between the bottom of the baffles and the conveyor belt. A recovery hopper is also provided on the baffles, and the cocoon drop channel is connected to the recovery hopper. The discharge port of the circular grid separating disc is connected to the conveyor belt. A first flushing component is provided on the inner side of the baffles, and a second flushing component is provided on the recovery hopper.
[0007] Furthermore, the recycling hopper includes a cocoon dropping section and a conveying section connected to the cocoon dropping section, with the other end of the conveying section connected to the production line.
[0008] Furthermore, the height of the starting end of the conveying section is greater than the height of the ending end of the conveying section.
[0009] Furthermore, the first flushing assembly is located at the top of the upward movement of the conveyor belt. The first flushing assembly includes a first water pipe and a high-pressure nozzle. The high-pressure nozzle is installed at the outlet end of the first water pipe, and the spraying end of the high-pressure nozzle faces the conveyor belt.
[0010] Furthermore, the second flushing assembly includes a first water outlet, a second water outlet, and a third water outlet opened in the recycling hopper, and the first water outlet, the second water outlet, and the third water outlet are respectively connected to a second water pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the first water outlet is located at the lower part of the recycling hopper, while the second and third water outlets are located at the upper part of the recycling hopper.
[0012] Furthermore, the second and third water outlets are directed towards the conveyor belt, while the first water outlet is directed towards the bottom of the recycling hopper.
[0013] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0014] In this invention, a first flushing component is used to initially flush the cocoons on the conveyor belt, causing the cocoons that are tightly attached to the conveyor belt to fall onto the cocoon dropping channel. The water flow then guides the cocoons along the dropping channel into the recycling hopper for collection. A second flushing component is used to flush the remaining cocoons on the conveyor belt a second time, causing the cocoons to fall directly into the recycling hopper. The two flushing processes improve the cleaning and recycling efficiency of the cocoons. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a cocoon return hopper structure for a silk reeling machine, including a conveyor belt 2 and a circular grid separating disc 1. Baffles 3 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, and a cocoon drop channel 6 is formed between the bottom of the baffles 3 and the conveyor belt 2. A recovery hopper 4 is also provided on the baffles 3, and the cocoon drop channel 6 is connected to the recovery hopper 4. The discharge port of the circular grid separating disc 1 is connected to the conveyor belt 2. A first flushing component is provided on the inner side of the baffles 3, and a second flushing component is provided on the recovery hopper 4.
[0027] The cocoons and silk are separated using a circular grid separating disc 1. The separated cocoons are then conveyed to a reeling pot via a conveyor belt 2 for re-reeling and silk reeling. For cocoons adhering to the conveyor belt 2, a first flushing component is used to initially flush them, causing them to fall onto the cocoon drop channel 6. The water flow then guides the cocoons along the drop channel 6 into the collection hopper 4 for recycling. A second flushing component is then used for a second flush, causing the cocoons to fall directly into the collection hopper 4. This two-stage flushing process improves the cleaning and recycling efficiency of the cocoons.
[0028] In a specific embodiment of this invention, the recycling hopper 4 includes a cocoon dropping section 41 and a conveying section 42 connected to the cocoon dropping section 41. The other end of the conveying section 42 is connected to the production line. The cocoon dropping section 41 and the conveying section 42 work together to recycle the cocoons and simultaneously transport them back to the production line for further processing.
[0029] In this specific embodiment, the height of the starting end of the conveying section 42 is greater than the height of the ending end of the conveying section 42. This height difference between the starting and ending ends allows the cocoons to be conveyed more quickly within the conveying section 42.
[0030] In this specific embodiment, the first flushing assembly is located at the top of the upward-moving conveyor belt 2. The first flushing assembly includes a first water pipe 7 and a high-pressure nozzle 8. The high-pressure nozzle 8 is installed at the outlet end of the first water pipe 7, and its spraying end faces the conveyor belt 2. The high-speed water jet from the high-pressure nozzle 8 flushes the cocoons, significantly reducing their adhesion to the conveyor belt 2, thus facilitating their fall from the conveyor belt 2. Preferably, multiple high-pressure nozzles 8 can be installed on the first water pipe 7, allowing the number of nozzles to be adjusted as needed, further facilitating the fall of the cocoons from the conveyor belt 2.
[0031] In a specific embodiment of this invention, the second flushing component includes a first water outlet 5, a second water outlet 9, and a third water outlet 10 located in the recovery hopper 4. Each of these outlets is connected to a second water pipe. The combined effect of multiple water outlets accelerates the conveying speed of the cocoons in the recovery hopper 4 and increases the impact force on the cocoons on the conveyor belt 2, causing the cocoons to fall into the recovery hopper 4. The first water outlet 5, second water outlet 9, and third water outlet 10 are all located in the cocoon-falling section 41 of the recovery hopper 4. Both the first water pipe 7 and the second water pipe are supplied with water from an external water source.
[0032] In this specific embodiment, the first water outlet 5 is located at the lower part of the recovery hopper 4, and the second water outlet 9 and the third water outlet 10 are located at the upper part of the recovery hopper 4. The height difference between the first water outlet 5, the second water outlet 9, and the third water outlet 10 provides different impact forces to the cocoons, facilitating cocoon transport and recovery.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, the water flow from the second water outlet 9 and the third water outlet 10 is directed towards the conveyor belt 2, while the water flow from the first water outlet 5 is directed towards the bottom of the recovery hopper 4. Using the water flow from the second water outlet 9 and the third water outlet 10 to flush away any remaining cocoons on the conveyor belt 2 prevents cocoon residue and improves cocoon recovery efficiency. The water flow from the first water outlet 5 impacts the cocoons in the cocoon drop section 41, facilitating cocoon transport along the conveyor section 42 and accelerating cocoon recovery efficiency.
[0034] The working principle of a cocoon return hopper structure for a silk reeling machine is as follows: cocoons are conveyed to the inlet of a circular grid separating disc 1, where the disc separates the cocoons and silk. The separated cocoons are discharged from the outlet of the disc 1 onto a conveyor belt 2, which then transports them to a spinning pot for re-spinning and reeling. The cocoons remaining on the conveyor belt 2 are first rinsed by a first water pipe 7 and a high-pressure nozzle 8, causing them to fall into a cocoon drop channel 6. From there, they enter the cocoon drop section 41 of the recovery hopper 4, where they are rinsed again by water flow from a second water outlet 9 and a third water outlet 10, causing them to fall back into the cocoon drop section 41. Simultaneously, water flow from the first water outlet 5 impacts the cocoons in the drop section 41, allowing them to be conveyed along a conveyor section 42 to the production line for further processing.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
