[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, an automatic cocoon-laying device for silkworms includes: a mounting base 1, a conveyor belt 2 inside the mounting base 1, a mounting frame 3 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 1 by multiple support rods, a material storage component and a material discharge component respectively mounted on the top of the mounting frame 3 from top to bottom, an opening on the mounting frame 3 located directly below the material discharge component, a material feeding component fixedly mounted at the opening of the mounting frame 3, a partition 4 slidably mounted through the mounting frame 3, a moving component for adjusting the up and down movement of the partition 4 on the mounting frame 3, a mounting plate 5 fixedly mounted on the partition 4, the mounting plate 5 being U-shaped, and an adjustment mechanism inside the mounting plate 5;

[0027] The adjustment mechanism includes two positioning blocks 6 rotatably mounted inside the mounting plate 5. A height limit plate 7 is slidably mounted inside the mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 is equipped with a control component for adjusting the movement of the height limit plate 7. Adjusting rods 8 are fixedly mounted on the top of each of the two positioning blocks 6. The tops of the two adjusting rods 8 pass through the mounting plate 5 and extend upward. The mounting plate 5 has through slots adapted to the adjusting rods 8. The through slots are arc-shaped, and the center of the through slots and the rotation center of the positioning blocks 6 are the same, which facilitates the rotation of the positioning blocks 6. The top of the mounting plate 5 is equipped with an adjustment component for adjusting the movement of the two adjusting rods 8.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, the cocoons in the storage component are quantitatively and evenly discharged into the feeding component through the opening by the feeding component, and then the feeding component transports the cocoons to the conveyor belt 2. The other end of the conveyor belt 2 is connected to a hot air cocoon drying machine (existing technology, not shown in the figure, and will not be described in detail here). The conveyor belt 2 carries the cocoons into the mounting plate 5. During the movement, the width of the cocoons is positioned and adjusted by two positioning blocks 6, so that the cocoons are laid more tightly and the cocoons are not loosely placed on the conveyor belt 2. At the same time, with the cooperation of the height limit plate 7, the height limit plate 7 pushes the cocoons piled together to flatten them and prevent the cocoons from piling up.

[0029] The silkworm cocoons are moved by the conveyor belt 2 to contact the partition 4. After a certain amount of silkworm cocoons are discharged, the discharge component stops working, and the moving component controls the partition 4 to move upward. The partition 4 drives the mounting plate 5 to move upward. The neatly laid silkworm cocoons are transported by the conveyor belt 2 to the processing device (i.e., the hot air cocoon drying machine) for processing. After the silkworm cocoons are transported, the moving component controls the partition 4 and the mounting plate 5 to reset. At the same time, the device repeats the above operation to continue to lay silkworm cocoons, thereby realizing the automatic cocoon laying operation.

[0030] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned adjustment components, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a first electric push rod 10 that is slidably disposed on the top of the mounting plate 5. Adjustment frames 11 are fixedly disposed at both ends of the movable rods of the first electric push rod 10. The adjustment frames 11 are slidably disposed on the top plate of the mounting plate 5, and the adjustment rod 8 is inserted into the adjustment frames 11.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, both the first electric push rod 10 and the second electric push rod 12 are existing technologies. The first electric push rod 10 is a bidirectional electric push rod, which will not be described in detail here. By adjusting the two adjustment frames 11 to move in opposite or opposite directions, the adjustment frames 11 drive the adjustment rod 8 to rotate in the through groove, thereby causing the positioning block 6 to rotate in opposite or opposite directions at the end near the partition plate 4. This makes the distance between the two positioning blocks 6 at the end near the partition plate 4 larger or smaller, thereby adjusting the width of the silkworm cocoon laying.

[0032] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned control components, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control assembly includes a second electric push rod 12 that passes through and is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 5, and the bottom movable rod end of the second electric push rod 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the height limit plate 7.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, the height limit plate 7 is moved up or down by the second electric push rod 12 to adjust the height of the height limit plate 7, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the height of the height limit plate 7 in pushing the cocoons and adjusting the stacking height of the cocoons.

[0034] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned storage components, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage assembly includes a storage frame 13. Two symmetrically arranged feeding blocks 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage frame 13. The two feeding blocks 14 are inclined at one end relative to each other, and feeding ports are formed at the bottom of the two feeding blocks 14.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, the cocoons are stored in the storage box 13. The setting of the feeding port makes it easy for the cocoons to roll into the discharge port at the top of the mounting block 15, so that the cocoons can be discharged into the feeding trough on the rotating block 16, which facilitates the discharge work.

[0036] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned material feeding components, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the material discharge assembly includes a mounting block 15 fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage frame 13. The bottom of the mounting block 15 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting frame 3. A rotating block 16 is provided inside the mounting block 15. The mounting block 15 has a mounting cavity adapted to the rotating block 16. Multiple material discharge slots are provided on the rotating block 16. Both ends of the rotating block 16 are rotatably mounted on the mounting block 15 through rotating rods 17. Both rotating rods 17 pass through the mounting block 15 and extend outward. Discharge ports are provided at the top and bottom of the mounting cavity. A first motor 18 is fixedly installed on the mounting block 15. A rotating shaft 19 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 18. The rotating shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 17 at the corresponding position.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the first motor 18 controls the rotating shaft 19 to drive the rotating rod 17 to rotate, so that the rotating block 16 rotates, thereby causing the feeding trough on the rotating block 16 to collect silkworm cocoons. During the rotation, the feeding trough collects and discharges the silkworm cocoons. The feeding trough quantitatively collects and discharges the silkworm cocoons, thereby making the amount of silkworm cocoons discharged more uniform and stable, and improving the discharge effect.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding frame 20 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. The bottom of the feeding frame 20 is inclined, and a soft pad 21 is fixedly installed inside the bottom of the feeding frame 20.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, the use of the feeding frame 20 facilitates the movement of silkworm cocoons onto the conveyor belt 2, and the use of the soft pad 21 prevents the silkworm cocoons from being damaged during the feeding process, thus ensuring the quality of the silkworm cocoons.

[0041] Preferred, Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the moving component includes a second motor 22 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. A lead screw 23 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 22. The top of the lead screw 23 passes through the mounting frame 3 and is fixedly installed with a limit block. A connecting block 9 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 23. The connecting block 9 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the partition 4.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, the second motor 22 drives the lead screw 23 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction, which in turn drives the connecting block 9 to move up or down. This causes the connecting block 9 to move the partition 4 up or down, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the partition 4. The first motor 18 and the second motor 22 are both servo motors, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
