TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the cutting of the outer edge material of feather, especially an automatic cutting forming device for cutting feather. BACKGROUND
[0002] The structure of the feather 1 for producing shuttlecock is shown in the figure, which comprises a feather stem 2, and the outer part of one end of the feather stem 2 is distributed with feather leaves. This feather 1 comes from the wings of domestic geese. When a batch of feathers 1 is collected, the process requires cutting from the middle area of the feather 1, that is, cutting off the outer edge material of the feather 1, so as to produce the finished feather piece shown in the figure. Figures 1-2 Figure 3
[0003] The method for producing finished feather in the workshop is that the worker takes out a feather 1 to be cut from the basket, places the feather 1 on the top surface of the concave die of the cutting die, and then controls the piston rod of the cylinder of the cutting die to extend downward. The piston rod drives the convex die to move downward, and the convex die moves toward the feather 1. When the convex die cooperates with the cavity of the concave die, the outer edge material of the feather 1 can be cut off. The finished feather piece cut off passes through the bottom port of the concave die downward and finally falls into the receiving box. The above operation is repeated for multiple times, and multiple feathers 1 can be cut into the required finished feather pieces.
[0004] However, although the method used in the workshop can cut the feather 1 into the required finished feather pieces, there are still the following technical defects in the technology:
[0005] When the worker places the feather 1 on the top surface of the concave die, the feather 1 sometimes automatically slides off the concave die, which causes the worker to place the feather 1 on the top surface of the concave die again. This not only increases the working strength of the worker, but also increases the cutting time of a single feather 1, which causes a long time to cut all the feathers 1 in the workshop into finished feather pieces, and thus reduces the cutting efficiency of the feather 1. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cutting forming device that can reduce the working strength of the worker and greatly improve the cutting efficiency of the feather.

Then the upper conveyor 36 and lower conveyor 37 of the control feeding mechanism 4 are started. The flat belt of the lower conveyor 37 rotates clockwise and the flat belt of the upper conveyor 36 rotates counterclockwise.
[0049] S2. The specific steps for cutting the first feather 1 are as follows:
[0050] S21. The worker takes out a piece from the basket. Figures 1-2 The feather 1 shown is placed flat on the flat belt of the flat belt conveyor 34. The flat belt conveys the feather 1 forward. After the feather 1 passes through the gap between the flat belt conveyor 34 and the inclined conveyor 35, the feather 1 enters the gap between the upper conveyor 36 and the lower conveyor 37. The upper conveyor 36 and the lower conveyor 37 continue to convey the feather 1 forward.
[0051] S22. When the worker observes that the shaft 2 of feather 1 moves into the chuck A12 of the clamping cylinder A11 of the traction mechanism 5, he controls the clamping cylinder A11 to start, and the chuck A12 on the clamping cylinder A11 closes, clamping the shaft 2 of feather 1; then he controls the moving table A10 of the lead screw nut pair A9 of the traction mechanism 5 to move forward, and the moving table A10 drives the clamping cylinder A11 to move forward, thereby driving the clamped feather 1 to move forward synchronously.
[0052] S23. When feather 1 moves to a position opposite to the clamping cylinder B15 of the turnover mechanism 6, as... Figures 15-16As shown, the screw-nut pair A9 of the traction mechanism 5 is controlled to close, and the moving table A10 no longer moves forward, and then the three clamping cylinders B15 of the rotation mechanism 6 are controlled to start, the clamping heads B16 of the clamping cylinders B15 are closed, and the clamping heads B16 clamps and fixes the feather 1; then the clamping cylinder A11 of the traction mechanism 5 is controlled to close, and the clamping head A12 no longer clamps the feather 1;
[0053] S24, the moving table B14 of the screw-nut pair B13 of the rotation mechanism 6 is controlled to move forward, the three clamping cylinders B15 are synchronously moved forward by the moving table B14, and then the clamped feather 1 is synchronously moved forward;
[0054] S25, when the feather 1 works to the opposite of the clamping cylinder C20 of the turnover mechanism 7, the screw-nut pair B13 of the rotation mechanism 6 is controlled to close, and the moving table B14 no longer moves forward, and then the two clamping cylinders C20 of the turnover mechanism 7 are controlled to start, the clamping heads C21 are closed by the clamping cylinders C20, at this time, the clamping heads C21 of the two clamping cylinders C20 clamp and fix the front and rear ends of the feather 1 respectively; then the three clamping cylinders B15 of the rotation mechanism 6 are controlled to close, at this time, the three clamping heads B16 no longer clamp the feather 1;
[0055] S26, the turnover motor 18 of the turnover mechanism 7 is controlled to start, the frame 19 is rotated by the turnover motor 18, the two clamping cylinders C20 are synchronously rotated by the frame 19, and then the clamped feather 1 is synchronously rotated, when the feather 1 is rotated by 180°, the controller controls the turnover motor 18 to close, at this time, the feather 1 is in a suspended state;
[0056] S27, the piston rod of the feed cylinder 23 of the cutting die 8 is controlled to stretch out to the right, the piston rod drives the sliding table 24 to move to the right, and then the first cylinder 25, the concave die 27, the second cylinder 29 and the convex die 31 are synchronously moved to the right; when the piston rod of the feed cylinder 23 stretches out to the set stroke, the controller controls the feed cylinder 23 to close, at this time, the convex die 31 is just above the feather 1, and the concave die 27 is just below the feather 1;
[0057] S28, the piston rod of the first cylinder 25 of the cutting die 8 is controlled to stretch upward, the piston rod drives the first plate 26 to move upward, the first plate 26 drives the concave die 27 to move toward the feather 1, at the same time, the piston rod of the second cylinder 29 of the cutting die 8 is controlled to stretch downward, the piston rod drives the second plate 30 to move downward, the second plate 30 drives the convex die 31 to move toward the feather 1, when the convex die 31 cooperates with the cavity of the concave die 27, the outer edge of the feather 1 can be cut off, the finished feather piece obtained after cutting passes through the blanking hole 32 of the first plate 26 and the blanking hole 32 of the slide table 24 in turn downward, finally the finished feather piece falls below the workbench 3, so that the first feather 1 is cut into the required finished feather piece, and the structure of the finished feather piece is as shown in Figure 3
[0058] S3, the worker repeats the operation of step S2 multiple times, so that all the feathers 1 in the workshop can be cut into the required finished feather pieces.
[0059] In step S2, the cutting and forming device first cooperates the feeding mechanism 4, the traction mechanism 5, the turnover mechanism 6 and the turnover mechanism 7 to suspend the feather 1 between the concave die 27 and the convex die 31 of the cutting die 8, and then cut the feather 1 into the required finished feather piece by the cutting die 8. It can be seen that, compared with the cutting method in the workshop, the worker does not need to manually place the feather 1 on the top surface of the concave die 27, thereby greatly reducing the working intensity of the worker. In addition, since the feather 1 is cut in a clamped state and in a suspended state, the feather 1 is effectively prevented from falling down, so that the worker does not need to frequently place the feather, thereby realizing that all the feathers in the workshop can be cut into the required finished feather pieces in a short time, and the cutting efficiency of the feather is greatly improved.
