[0002] The cottonseed oil production line feeding mechanism is an automated device specifically designed for cottonseed oil production lines. It is used to automatically feed cottonseed, and its working principle is mainly based on an intermittent and quantitative discharge method. By setting up a rotating feeding component, cottonseed in the storage bin is intermittently discharged into the production line. Currently, with the increase in cottonseed oil production and the advancement of refining technology, the cottonseed oil production line feeding mechanism has also been continuously improved and optimized.
[0003] Existing cottonseed oil feeding mechanisms cannot achieve timed feeding, nor can the feeding amount be specified. Furthermore, due to prolonged accumulation, cottonseeds in the feeding hopper easily clump together, causing agglomeration or adhering to the side walls of the hopper, preventing successful feeding. To address these issues, this invention provides an automatic feeding mechanism for a cottonseed oil production line. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for cottonseed oil production lines.

[0026] This utility model discloses an automatic feeding mechanism for a cottonseed oil production line.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] According to the appendix Figure 1-7 As shown,
[0029] The device includes a feeding hopper 1, a main rotating shaft 3 rotatably connected inside the feeding hopper 1, and a rotating material valve 2 rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 1. One end of the rotating material valve 2 is fixedly connected to an elastic locking piece 22, which is used to regulate the rotating material valve 2. The main rotating shaft 3 is equipped with a scraping blade 32 and a lever 34. The scraping blade 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main rotating shaft 3 and is used to scrape cotton seeds on the inner wall of the feeding hopper 1. The lever 34 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the main rotating shaft 3 and is used to drive the elastic locking piece 22 to rotate, so that the rotating material valve 2 automatically opens and closes under the drive of the main rotating shaft 3.
[0030] The feeding hopper 1 includes a hopper cover 11, which is located at the top of the feeding hopper 1. A rotary motor 111 is installed at the top of the hopper cover 11. The main rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the rotary motor 111. A bottom sealing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 1. A rotating material valve 2 is rotatably connected inside the bottom sealing plate 12.
[0031] The bottom sealing plate 12 of the hopper has a discharge port 121 for discharging cotton seeds. The bottom sealing plate 12 of the hopper has an arc-shaped long slide groove 122. The rotating material valve 2 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped long slide groove 122. The bottom of the bottom sealing plate 12 of the hopper is fixedly connected to a fixed connecting plate 124. The rotating material valve 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed connecting plate 124. The side end of the bottom sealing plate 12 of the hopper has a threaded hole 123. The threaded holes 123 are arrayed on one side of the bottom sealing plate 12 of the hopper. The threaded hole 123 is threadedly connected to a discharge control component 126. The discharge control component 126 is used to control the rotation amount of the rotating material valve 2. The bottom sealing plate 12 of the hopper has a rotating shaft through hole 125 at the axis.
[0032] When in use, the device drives the main shaft 3 to rotate via the rotary motor 111, which in turn drives the stirring blades 31 and scraping blades 32 to rotate, scraping and stirring the cottonseeds. This prevents the cottonseeds from sticking to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 1 during feeding and from clumping due to prolonged inactivity. Simultaneously, the bottom lever 34 and the rotating material valve 2 collide to rotate the rotating material valve 2, opening the feeding port 121 for discharge. Subsequently, the elastic locking piece 22 of the rotating material valve 2 slides to its limit and cannot move further. The lever 34 slides off the elastic locking piece 22 and continues to rotate. Then, the elastic locking piece 22 returns to its initial position, blocking the feeding port 121. After the lever 34 rotates one more revolution, it collidees again and drives the elastic locking piece 22 to rotate, opening the feeding port 121.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] According to the appendix Figure 1-7 As shown, based on Example 1,
[0035] One end of the rotating material valve 2 is fixedly connected to a push valve rod 21, and an elastic snap-fit piece 22 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the push valve rod 21. A first return spring 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the push valve rod 21. The first return spring 23 is set in the arc-shaped long slide groove 122. The first return spring 23 is used to drive the push valve rod 21 to return to the state of closing the feed port 121.
[0036] The main rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected in the rotating shaft through hole 125. The upper end of the main rotating shaft 3 is also fixedly connected to the stirring blade 31. The stirring blade 31 is used to stir the cottonseed in the feeding hopper 1 to prevent the cottonseed from clumping. The bottom of the main rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating crossbar 33. The lever 34 is slidably connected to the outer end of the rotating crossbar 33. The bottom of the main rotating shaft 3 is also provided with a second return spring 35. One end of the second return spring 35 is fixedly connected to the lever 34, and the other end of the second return spring 35 is fixedly connected to the rotating crossbar 33. The second return spring 35 is used to return the lever 34 to its original position after the lever 34 moves away so that the rotating material valve 2 can be opened again.
[0037] In this embodiment, the valve stem 21 is reset by the pull of the first return spring 23, and the lever 34 is reset by the pull of the second return spring 35.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
