Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the cotton bale sampler provided in this embodiment includes a base plate 1 and two gears 2 rotatably mounted on the base plate 1 via a rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 is fixedly embedded in the center of the gears 2. A connecting rod 3 is also fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 4. A clamping rod 5 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 3. A serration 6 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping rod 5. A double-sided rack 8 is slidably mounted on the base plate 1. The double-sided rack 8 meshes with the two gears 2 simultaneously and is located between the two gears 2.
[0030] The top of the double-sided rack 8 is fixedly connected to the traction rod 9.
[0031] A grip ring 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the substrate 1. One hand holds the grip ring 10, and the other hand operates the traction rod 9. The grip ring 10 facilitates the operation of the entire device. By pulling the traction rod 9, the double-sided rack 8 is linearly displaced, ultimately achieving the rotation of the two clamping rods 5.
[0032] Two clamping rods 5 are positioned on either side of the cotton. Then, the traction rod 9 is pulled, causing the double-sided rack 8 to move towards the grip ring 10. The double-sided rack 8 drives the two gears 2 to rotate, and the gears 2 drive the connecting rod 3 to rotate via the rotating shaft 4. This causes the two clamping rods 5 to move closer together, clamping the cotton, and the serrations 6 to contact the cotton. Then, the grip ring 10 is pulled to pull and tear the cotton. The serrations 6 help to tear the cotton, making it easier to separate and sample. No direct contact with the fingers is required, avoiding finger injuries, and force can be applied to operate, making it convenient to separate and sample the cotton.
[0033] A groove 101 is formed on the surface of the substrate 1. A slider 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the double-sided rack 8. The slider 12 is slidably disposed inside the groove 101 to limit and guide the double-sided rack 8, so that the double-sided rack 8 can only move along a straight line.
[0034] A spring 11 is fixedly connected between the slider 12 and the inner wall of the groove 101.
[0035] After the cotton sampling is completed, the traction rod 9 is released, the spring 11 releases its elasticity, and the spring 11 can push the slider 12. The double-sided rack 8 moves in the opposite direction, and the two clamping rods 5 separate from each other, losing their grip on the cotton, allowing the cotton to fall off.
[0036] Furthermore, slider 12 is a T-block, and groove 101 is a T-slot.
[0037] A threaded pin 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping rod 5 near the connecting rod 3. A threaded hole 301 is opened at the end of the connecting rod 3, and the threaded pin 7 is threadedly inserted into the threaded hole 301.
[0038] The threaded pin 7 and the threaded hole 301 make it easy to install the clamping rod 5, and different models of clamping rod 5 can also be replaced as needed.
[0039] The saw tooth 6 is triangular in shape. Triangular structures usually have good stability and structural strength, and can effectively withstand the force generated during the tearing of cotton. The saw tooth 6 is located at the end of the clamping rod 5 away from the connecting rod 3.
[0040] The width of the serration 6 gradually narrows on the side away from the clamp 5. The surface of the serration 6 is sharp, which helps to tear the cotton and facilitates the separation of the cotton.
[0041] A bearing is embedded on the surface of the substrate 1, and the rotating shaft 4 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing, which helps the rotating shaft 4 to rotate.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
