[0002] In the textile machinery cotton grabbing machine, the grabbing arm part is the core component, and in the equipment operation process, the grabbing arm part is required to be pressed on the upper surface of the bale horizontally and stably, gradually descending, ensuring that the thickness of the cotton layer grabbed each time is uniform, and providing uniform fiber raw material for the subsequent equipment.

[0003] In patent No. 201980029603.5, a bale opener is disclosed by Germany Truzl Limited Partnership and Joint Stock Company, which is used for opening the compressed and placed fiber bale along the placement direction, the bale opener has a rack and a pickup unit, wherein the pickup unit is variably arranged in height at the rack, and wherein the rack can travel along the placement direction, so that the pickup unit can drive through the fiber bale, and wherein the pickup unit is suspended on the rack by means of at least one traction device, wherein the traction device is effectively connected with a driving motor to adjust the height of the pickup unit at the rack. According to the utility model, at least one traction device is guided around a reversing wheel arranged on the upper side of the rack, wherein the first end of the traction device is connected with the pickup unit, and wherein the second end of the traction device can be wound and unwound on the traction device roller arranged at the pickup unit, wherein the driving motor is arranged at the pickup unit and is effectively connected with the traction device roller.

[0004] In the bale opener described in the patent, the lifting principle of the pickup unit is as shown in Figure 1 A horizontal transmission shaft 3 is arranged on the pickup unit 1, and two winding wheels 6 are respectively installed at both ends of the transmission shaft. Two traction belts 2 are suspended in front and back directions by the two winding wheels 6 respectively, one end of the traction belt 2 is fixed on the pickup unit 1, and the other end is fixed on the winding wheel 6, the driving motor is directly connected with the transmission shaft 3, and the driving motor directly drives the rotation of the transmission shaft 3, thereby driving the rotation of the winding wheel 6, so as to realize the winding or unwinding of the traction belts 2 on both sides, and further realize the lifting and lowering of the pickup unit 1.

[0005] The grabbing arm lifting structure disclosed in the above patent has the following shortcomings:

[0006] The two ends of the main shaft fixed on the picking unit 1 are lifted synchronously by two traction belts 2, and due to the gravity center of the picking unit 1 not being at the center of the transmission shaft 3, the two traction belts 2 are subjected to different forces in the actual working process, and due to the difference in mechanical friction caused by long-term operation, the two traction belts 2 will produce inconsistent expansion and contraction errors due to the force and temperature difference, so that the front and rear sides of the grabbing arm are not at the same height, thereby causing uneven cotton grabbing, and even increasing the running resistance due to side deviation.

[0007] The picking unit 1 is suspended by only two traction belts 2, and lacks the locking function of preventing falling, so once the traction belt 2 is broken, the picking unit 1 will immediately fall, causing the cotton grabbing machine to be damaged and stopped, and even causing a safety accident, which is very serious and has unpredictable consequences. The utility model discloses a synchronous lifting transmission mechanism of picking unit in cotton grabbing machine

[0008] The utility model discloses a synchronous lifting transmission mechanism of picking unit in cotton grabbing machine, which can ensure that the picking unit of the cotton grabbing machine is always in horizontal and equal height lifting operation, and ensure the uniformity and stability of the cotton grabbing layer of the cotton grabbing machine.

[0011] Further, at least one screw nut transmission assembly is arranged on the left and right sides of the picking unit.

[0012] Further, at least one screw nut transmission assembly is arranged on the left and right sides of the picking unit.

[0013] Further, one screw nut transmission assembly is arranged on the left side of the picking unit, and two screw nut transmission assemblies are arranged on the right side of the picking unit.

[0014] Further, two screw nut transmission assemblies are arranged on the left side of the picking unit, and two screw nut transmission assemblies are arranged on the right side of the picking unit.

[0015] Further, the synchronous transmission system comprises a driving engaging wheel, a driven engaging wheel, a tensioning engaging wheel and an engaging transmission belt, the driving engaging wheel is fixedly installed on the main shaft of the lifting driving motor, the driven engaging wheel is fixed on the screw rod, the engaging transmission belt passes through the driving engaging wheel and all the driven engaging wheels, and the engaging transmission belt is tensioned by the at least one tensioning engaging wheel.

[0016] Further, the synchronous transmission system comprises a driving engaging wheel, a driven engaging wheel, a tensioning engaging wheel and an engaging transmission belt, the driving engaging wheel is fixedly installed on the main shaft of the lifting driving motor, the driven engaging wheel is fixed on the screw rod, the engaging transmission belt passes through the driving engaging wheel and all the driven engaging wheels, and the engaging transmission belt is tensioned by the at least one tensioning engaging wheel.

[0018] Further, the driving engaging wheel, the driven engaging wheel and the tensioning engaging wheel are all sprockets with the same modulus, and the engaging transmission belt is a chain with the same modulus.

[0019] Since the screw rod nut assemblies are arranged at two ends of the picking unit of the cotton grabbing machine, the nuts in the screw rod nut assemblies are fixed on the picking unit, the screw rods are rotatably fixed on the rack through bearings, the lifting driving motor drives the vertically arranged screw rods to rotate synchronously through the synchronous transmission system, so that the nuts are lifted synchronously, and the picking unit is lifted synchronously with the nuts; since all the screw rod nut assemblies are of the same specification and rotate at the same speed in the same direction, the picking unit is always in a horizontal state, so that the cotton grabbing machine can uniformly grab the cotton bales, and the thickness of the grabbed cotton layer is uniform. As known in the art, the screw rod nut mechanism has self-locking performance, so that the picking unit will not fall in any working condition, and the defects in the prior art are eliminated.
