Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical cotton harvesting technology, specifically a cotton harvester spindle with an alternating tooth width structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing scale and mechanization of cotton planting and production, large-scale cotton harvesting machines are now widely used for cotton picking. Currently, horizontal spindle cotton harvesters dominate the market, and the spindle, as a key component of the horizontal spindle cotton harvester, has a crucial hook tooth structure that is essential for cotton harvesting. Therefore, it is necessary to research, summarize, and innovate the hook tooth structure of the spindle. Currently, the hook tooth structure of the spindle consists of three rows, with 12 hook teeth in each row. After one harvesting season, the hook teeth of the spindle experience significant wear, even leading to the peeling of the plating, which accelerates the oxidation and wear of the hook teeth.
[0003] Based on this, this utility model designs a cotton picker spindle with an alternating tooth width structure. The spindle has three rows of hook teeth on its conical surface, with 12 hook teeth in each row, arranged in an alternating order of large and small hook teeth. The spindle can achieve high-quality cotton picking while being wear-resistant and impact-resistant. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new hook tooth structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the hook teeth being easily worn or even falling off due to impact.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a cotton picker spindle with an alternating tooth width structure, including a transmission part, a support part, and a picking part. The transmission part consists of a bevel gear for power input to the picker spindle; the support part is a cylindrical rod, connected to the transmission part at the left end and to the picking part at the right end; the picking part is a conical rod covered with hook teeth, with each row consisting of 6 large hook teeth and 6 small hook teeth arranged alternately, starting from the end of the picker spindle with large hook teeth, and the contact surface at the root of the hook teeth being the base surface; each large hook tooth consists of a front tooth surface, a back tooth surface, a tooth face, a rear tooth surface, and a base surface; each small hook tooth consists of a front tooth surface, a back tooth surface, a tooth face, a rear tooth surface, and a base surface.
[0006] Furthermore, the line of intersection between the tooth surface and the tooth back is the tooth cutting edge, the line of intersection between the tooth surface and the front tooth surface is the front tooth cutting edge, and the line of intersection between the tooth surface and the rear tooth surface is the rear tooth cutting edge.
[0007] Furthermore, the width of the large hook tooth cutting edge is 2mm, and the width of the small hook tooth cutting edge is 1mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the angle between the rear edge of the large hook tooth and the base surface is 134.94°; the angle between the edge of the large hook tooth and the front edge of the large hook tooth is 85°; the angle between the rear edge of the small hook tooth and the base surface is 134.94°; and the angle between the edge of the small hook tooth and the front edge of the small hook tooth is 85°.
[0009] Furthermore, the height between the large hook tooth cutting edge and the base surface is 1mm, and the height between the small hook tooth cutting edge and the base surface is 1mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the large hook tooth and the small hook tooth is 1 mm.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the six large hook teeth distributed in an alternating pattern improve the overall hook tooth strength of the picking spindle, making it more wear-resistant and impact-resistant in cotton picking operations in the field, thus increasing the working life of the picking spindle; the six small hook teeth distributed in an alternating pattern complete the cotton picking task and achieve a high picking rate without changing the overall strength of the picking spindle, and the distance between the large and small hook teeth is equal, so it can continue to be used in existing cotton pickers.
