Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton seed dehulling technology, and more specifically to a simple device for rapid dehulling of cotton seeds. Background Technology
[0002] To improve the purity and quality of cotton, a three-stage dehulling process is required: dehulling, dehulling, and impurity removal. Dehulling is crucial for removing the hard shell on the surface of cotton seeds, which is beneficial for weaving into high-quality fabrics.
[0003] However, cotton seed dehulling is still usually done manually, by gently cutting the cotton seed hulls with scissors, which is inefficient. Some companies have started to use specialized dehulling machines, which mainly include a cutting system and a separation system. These machines cut the cotton seed hulls in the middle to expose the cotton fibers, and then use airflow and vibration to separate the cotton seed hulls from the cotton fibers. However, these machines have a complex structure and high manufacturing costs.
[0004] Therefore, providing a simple device for rapid dehulling of cotton seeds is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a simple device for rapid dehulling of cotton seeds, which has a simple structure, low cost, and is suitable for widespread promotion.

[0008] The enclosure has an outlet on its bottom side; a flange frame is provided on the inner wall of the enclosure near the bottom.
[0009] A pressing mechanism is installed on the top of the housing;
[0010] A screen, which is mounted on the flange frame by a plurality of springs;
[0011] A feed hopper is installed on and communicates with the side wall of the housing, and the outlet position of the feed hopper corresponds to the position of the screen.
[0012] A collection drawer that fits into the outlet.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The cotton seed hard shell is crushed by a pressing mechanism, and the cotton fiber is separated from the hard shell by a screen. When the pressing mechanism rises after pressing, the screen vibrates up and down under the action of a spring, further separating the cotton fiber from the hard shell. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is suitable for widespread promotion.
[0015] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder and a pressure plate. The telescopic cylinder is vertically fixed to the top of the box body; the pressure plate is horizontally fixed to the extension end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder, and the pressure plate is located inside the box body and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body.
[0016] Furthermore, the end edge of the screen is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box; the bottom end of each spring is fixed to the flange frame, and the top end of each spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screen near the end edge.
[0017] Furthermore, the telescopic cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder.
[0018] Furthermore, there are two feeding hoppers, which are located on opposite sides of the housing.
[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are that it accelerates the feeding speed, avoids the accumulation of feed on one side of the screen, and improves the uniformity of feeding.
[0020] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned feed hoppers is inclined upwards.
[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that, under the action of gravity, cotton seeds automatically fall onto the screen.
[0022] Furthermore, the box body includes a box body and a cover body. The rear side of the cover body is hinged to the box body, and the front side of the cover body is connected to the box body via a latch. The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the top of the cover body. The pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cover body.
[0023] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that it facilitates the removal of cotton fibers from the screen after dehulling. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.
[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a simple device for rapid dehulling of cotton seeds, including a box 1, a pressing mechanism 2, a screen 3, a feeding hopper 4, and a collecting drawer 5. The bottom side of the box 1 has an outlet; a flange frame 6 is provided on the inner wall of the box 1 near the bottom; the pressing mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the box 1; the screen 3 is installed on the flange frame 6 by multiple springs 7, and the screen 3 is made of metal; the feeding hopper 4 is installed on and communicates with the side wall of the box 1, and the outlet position of the feeding hopper 4 corresponds to the position of the screen 3; the collecting drawer 5 is inserted into the outlet. This utility model uses the pressing mechanism 2 to crush the hard shell of cotton seeds, and uses the screen 3 to separate cotton fibers from the hard shell. When the pressing mechanism 2 rises after pressing, the screen 3 vibrates up and down under the action of the springs 7, further realizing the separation of cotton fibers and hard shell. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is suitable for widespread promotion.
[0029] Specifically, the pressing mechanism 2 includes a telescopic cylinder 21 and a pressure plate 22. The telescopic cylinder 21 is vertically fixed to the top of the housing 1; the pressure plate 22 is horizontally fixed to the extension end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 21, and the pressure plate 22 is located inside the housing 1 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0030] Specifically, the end edge of the screen 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1; the bottom end of each spring 7 is fixed to the flange frame 6, and the top end of each spring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screen 3 near the end edge.
[0031] Specifically, the telescopic cylinder 21 is a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric cylinder.
[0032] To further optimize the technical effect of this utility model, there are two feeding hoppers 4, which are located on opposite sides of the box 1, thereby accelerating the feeding speed and preventing the material from accumulating on one side of the screen 3, thus improving the uniformity of feeding.
[0033] To further optimize the technical effect of this utility model, each feed hopper 4 is inclined upward, so that the cotton seeds automatically fall onto the screen 3 under the action of gravity.
[0034] To further optimize the technical effect of this utility model, the box 1 includes a box body 11 and a cover 12. The rear side of the cover 12 is hinged to the box body 11, and the front side of the cover 12 is connected to the box body 11 by a lock. The telescopic cylinder 21 is fixed on the top of the cover 12. The pressure plate 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cover 12, so that the cotton fibers on the screen 3 can be easily removed after the shelling is completed.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] Pour cotton seeds into the feed hopper 4. The cotton seeds fall onto the screen 3. Start the telescopic cylinder 21 to drive the pressure plate 22 to descend, applying pressure to the cotton seeds on the screen 3 and causing the spring 7 to be fully contracted. After repeated pressure, the hard shell of the cotton seeds is completely crushed. The hard shell falls into the collection drawer 5 through the screen 3. At the same time, when the pressure plate 22 rises, the screen 3 vibrates up and down under the elastic force of the spring 7, further separating the hard shell and cotton fibers. Finally, the pressure plate 22 retracts into the cover 12. Open the lock, open the cover 12, and take out the cotton fibers from the screen 3.
