[0002] With the continuous growth of the global cotton consumption market, the scale of the cotton processing industry is also gradually expanding. Large-scale cotton processing requires efficient and stable feeding mechanisms to meet production needs. If the feeding process is inefficient, it will seriously affect the output of the entire production line. Some feeding mechanisms' belt conveyor designs do not fully consider the characteristics of cotton, such as lacking effective measures to prevent cotton from slipping, which makes cotton easy to fall during transmission, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning and refeeding.

[0003] However, some existing cotton processing feeding equipment cannot feed cotton into the processing equipment in a timely and even manner, and residues are left on the conveyor belt during transportation. Therefore, this application designs a feeding mechanism for cotton processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.

[0020] Example: See Figure 1-5 The feeding mechanism for cotton processing in this utility model includes a processing box 2. A discharge port 1 is provided on the lower part of one side of the processing box 2, and a feed port 3 is provided on the other side of the top of the processing box 2. The feed port 3 and the discharge port 1 facilitate the movement of cotton on a specific track. A belt conveyor 4 is horizontally installed on one side inside the processing box 2, which facilitates the transportation of cotton. A transmission component is provided in the middle of the processing box 2, and a feeding component 7 is provided on the other side inside the processing box 2, which facilitates the loading of materials from the outside to the feed port 3. The feeding component 7 includes a feeding plate 10 horizontally installed in the lower part of the processing box 2, a hinge seat installed at one end of the bottom of the feeding plate 10, a groove 11 opened in the middle of the bottom surface of the feeding plate 10, and a slider slidably provided in the groove 11. The bottom of the slider is connected to a vertically placed hydraulic cylinder 12, and the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 12 is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the processing box 2, which facilitates the pouring of materials onto the transmission component.

[0021] In this invention, the other end of the feeding plate 10 is an upwardly bent inclined plate. The transmission assembly includes an inclined transmission belt 6, a transmission shaft 5 located at both ends of the inner ring of the transmission belt 6, and multiple barbs 15 evenly installed on the outer surface of the transmission belt 6. The end of the transmission shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box 2. The barbs 15 help prevent materials from slipping during transmission. The processing box 2 between the transmission assembly and the belt conveyor 4 is longitudinally rotatably equipped with a brush roller 13 for cleaning the barbs 15. The lower part of the processing box 2 is longitudinally equipped with a brush roller 13 for cleaning the barbs 15. The scraper 14, which is cleaned by the brush roller 13, facilitates the cleaning of residual materials on the surface of the belt conveyor 4. The rear end of the processing box 2 is equipped with a mounting frame, on which a motor 9 is mounted. One rotating shaft of the belt conveyor 4, one of the transmission shafts 5, and the rear end of the brush roller 13 all extend out of the processing box 2 and are fixedly fitted with driven pulleys. Three drive pulleys are fitted on the output shaft of the motor 9. A belt 8 is fitted between the drive pulleys and the driven pulleys. The driven pulleys are driven by the drive pulley at one end of the motor 9.

[0022] Working principle: When using this utility model, first turn on the power to start working. The output shaft of the motor 9 rotates, driving a pair of drive pulleys fixedly sleeved on it to rotate. One of the drive pulleys is connected to the driven pulley sleeved on the driven shaft of the belt conveyor 4 via the belt 8. The other drive pulley is connected to the passive pulley sleeved on one of the transmission shafts 5 of the conveyor belt 6 via a V-belt. In this way, the power of the motor 9 is transmitted to the transmission shaft 5, which in turn causes the belt conveyor 4 sleeved between the two transmission shafts 5 to start moving. Cotton enters from the feed port 3 of the processing box 2. The feeding assembly 7 located on the bottom surface of the processing box 2 starts to work. The hydraulic cylinder 12 fixed on the bottom surface of the processing box 2 extends and retracts. Since the slider at the top of the hydraulic cylinder 12 is connected to the groove 11 on the inner wall of the other side of the feeding plate 10, the movement of the hydraulic cylinder 12 can push the feeding plate 10 to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby pushing the cotton onto the belt conveyor 4 of the conveyor belt 6 and transporting it to the discharge port 1. At this point, the use of the feeding mechanism for cotton processing is completed.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
