Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a carding machine. Background Technology
[0002] Carding machines are key pieces of equipment in the textile industry. They are mainly used to comb, clean, and straighten fibrous materials such as cotton to form cotton fibers suitable for spinning.
[0003] Reference to the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221166881U, a feeding mechanism for a carding machine is proposed, which includes a carding machine body and a feeding mechanism installed at the inlet of the carding machine body. The feeding mechanism includes a conveyor belt system and a leveling mechanism. The conveyor belt system is installed on the frame of the carding machine body and is driven by a servo motor. The leveling mechanism is set above the top end face of the conveyor belt system to level the cotton at the top of the conveyor belt system. The leveling mechanism includes a connecting shaft and a scraper installed on the connecting shaft.
[0004] The aforementioned patent utilizes a belt to transport cotton material to the carding machine. In actual workshops, the carding machine itself has its own feeding conveyor belt, but the fabric laid flat on its conveyor belt needs to undergo preliminary leveling to ensure that the cotton material on the conveyor belt at the carding machine's feeding end is flat. Currently, some of this leveling work still requires manual assistance. Therefore, the feeding mechanism of the carding machine needs to solve the problem of flat feeding of the fabric. To this end, we have proposed a feeding mechanism for the carding machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a feeding mechanism for a carding machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A feeding mechanism for a carding machine includes the carding machine, and a feeding mechanism is provided on the side of the carding machine. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding cone, a frame groove, and a feeding guide groove. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the frame groove, and a rotating roller is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft. A plurality of cotton guiding teeth are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating roller. An adjusting plate is provided on the side of the rotating roller. Electric telescopic rods are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame groove. The output end of the electric telescopic rod slides through to the inside of the frame groove and is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly installed on the side wall of the carding machine.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller is used to control the working status of each electrical component in the carding machine and the feeding mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, a feeding conveyor belt is installed at the left feeding end of the carding machine, and the feeding guide trough is directly above the feeding conveyor belt.
[0011] Furthermore, support frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the feeding cone.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the support frame is used to provide support for the entire feeding mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, the feeding guide groove is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame groove, and the inside of the feeding guide groove is connected to the inside of the frame groove.
[0014] Furthermore, a connecting folding plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the feeding cone, and the connecting folding plate is screwed to the frame groove.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the folding plate and the frame groove is screwed together, so that the frame groove can be disassembled and unloaded as a whole from the bottom of the feeding cone, which facilitates the maintenance and repair of the internal components of the frame groove in the later stage.
[0016] Furthermore, the rotating shaft rotates through to the outside of the frame groove and a large gear is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame groove, and a small gear is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor. The small gear meshes with the large gear.
[0017] Furthermore, a mounting strip is symmetrically arranged on the other side of the roller. The mounting strip is screwed onto the inner wall of the frame groove, and carding grooves are evenly distributed on the mounting strip corresponding to the cotton guide teeth.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the guide teeth grab the cotton material, they rotate to move the cotton material to the bottom of the inner side of the frame groove. Since the cotton material is relatively light, some of it still sticks to the guide teeth. When the guide teeth continue to rotate and pass through the carding groove, the cotton material stuck to them cannot pass through and will be scraped off by the carding groove and fall to the bottom of the frame groove.
[0019] Furthermore, guide plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the frame groove, and baffles are provided on the upper side of the adjusting plate. The baffles are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame groove, and both the guide plates and the baffles are inclined.
[0020] Furthermore, a chassis is provided on the outer wall of the frame groove, and a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the chassis. The mounting frame is screwed onto the outer wall of the frame groove. Heat dissipation holes are provided on the chassis, and the chassis covers the outside of the large gear and the small gear.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the heat dissipation holes facilitates the ventilation and heat dissipation needs of the drive motor during operation.
[0022] Compared with related technologies, the feeding mechanism for a carding machine proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] In this utility model, a feeding mechanism for a carding machine is described. The feeding mechanism directly adds cotton material to the feeding cone. When the rotating roller rotates, it drives the outer guide teeth to grab the cotton material and rotate it towards the bottom of the frame groove. The cotton material then falls onto the feeding conveyor belt through the feeding guide chute. An adjusting plate on the side can adjust the distance between itself and the rotating roller via an electric telescopic rod, thereby controlling the thickness of the cotton material passing through. This allows for control over the thickness of the cotton material falling from the feeding guide chute onto the feeding conveyor belt. The entire process is automated, eliminating the need for manual spreading and saving labor. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0032] Reference Figure 1-6 A feeding mechanism for a carding machine includes a carding machine 1, with a feeding mechanism 4 on the side of the carding machine 1. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding cone 41, a frame groove 42, and a feeding guide groove 43. A rotating shaft 49 is rotatably installed inside the frame groove 42, and a rotating roller 410 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 49. Several cotton guide teeth 411 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating roller 410. An adjusting plate 412 is provided on the side of the rotating roller 410. Electric telescopic rods 413 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame groove 42. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 413 slides through to the inside of the frame groove 42 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 412. A controller 2 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the carding machine 1. A feeding conveyor belt 3 is installed at the left feeding end of the carding machine 1, and the feeding guide groove 43 is located directly above the feeding conveyor belt 3.
[0033] In this embodiment, support frames 44 are fixedly installed on both sides of the feeding cone 41, the feeding guide 43 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame groove 42, the inside of the feeding guide 43 is connected to the inside of the frame groove 42, and a connecting folding plate 45 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the feeding cone 41, and the connecting folding plate 45 is screwed to the frame groove 42.
[0034] With the above structure, the feeding cone 41 and the lower frame groove 42 are screwed together by the connecting folding plate 45, which makes it easy to remove the frame groove 42 from the bottom of the feeding cone 41 and facilitate the maintenance and repair of the components inside the frame groove 42.
[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 49 rotates through to the outside of the frame groove 42 and a large gear 418 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 49. A drive motor 419 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame groove 42, and a small gear 420 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 419. The small gear 420 meshes with the large gear 418.
[0036] With the above structure, when the drive motor 419 starts, it drives the pinion 420 to rotate. The pinion 420 meshes with the large gear 418 to drive the rotating shaft 49 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating roller 410 fixed on the outside of the rotating shaft 49 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating roller 410 rotates, the cotton guide teeth 411 evenly distributed on it grab the cotton material inside the feeding cone 41 and rotate it downwards for conveying.
[0037] In this embodiment, a mounting strip 414 is symmetrically arranged on the other side of the roller 410. The mounting strip 414 is screwed onto the inner wall of the frame groove 42. The mounting strip 414 is provided with carding grooves 415 evenly distributed on the corresponding cotton guide teeth 411.
[0038] With the above structure, the carding groove 415 set on the mounting strip 414 cooperates with the cotton guide tooth 411 on the outside of the rotating roller 410. When the cotton guide tooth 411 rotates and passes through the carding groove 415, the carding groove 415 can scrape off the remaining cotton material adhering to the cotton guide tooth 411 and let it slide down to the bottom of the frame groove 42.
[0039] In this embodiment, guide plates 416 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the frame groove 42, and baffles 417 are provided on the upper side of the adjusting plate 412. The baffles 417 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame groove 42, and both the guide plates 416 and the baffles 417 are inclined.
[0040] With the above structure, the baffle 417 prevents the cotton material placed at the bottom of the feeding cone 41 from passing through the gap behind the adjusting plate 412 to the lower side. The guide plate 416 allows the cotton material to be concentrated and slide down to the upper port of the feeding guide 43 when it is conveyed to the bottom of the frame groove 42.
[0041] In this embodiment, a housing 46 is provided on the outer wall of the frame groove 42, and a mounting frame 47 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing 46. The mounting frame 47 is screwed onto the outer wall of the frame groove 42. A heat dissipation hole 48 is provided on the housing 46, and the housing 46 covers the outer side of the large gear 418 and the small gear 420.
[0042] The aforementioned structure and the arrangement of the chassis 46 enhance the protection of its internal transmission components.
[0043] In this invention, cotton material is added to the feeding cone 41 during use. The cotton material slides to the bottom of the feeding cone 41. At this time, the drive motor 419 is turned on, driving the rotating shaft 49 and the rotating roller 410 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 49 to rotate. When the rotating roller 410 rotates, the cotton guide teeth 411 on it rotate one side of the cotton material orientation adjustment plate 412. The cotton material passes through the gap between the adjustment plate 412 and the rotating roller 410, passes through the bottom of the inner side of the frame groove 42, and slides down to the top port of the feeding guide groove 43 under the guidance of the guide plate 416. Finally, it slides down from the feeding guide groove 43 onto the feeding conveyor belt 3. The cotton material spread on the feeding conveyor belt 3 is flat. When it is necessary to adjust the thickness of the cotton on the feeding conveyor belt 3, it is only necessary to start the electric telescopic rod 413 to drive the adjustment plate 412 and the rotating roller 410 to change the distance. Increasing the distance will increase the thickness of the cotton material on the feeding conveyor belt 3. The adjustment is convenient and can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs. It is very convenient and quick to use.
