Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of carding devices, specifically a self-cleaning carding device. Background Technology
[0002] The carding device is a key piece of equipment in the cotton spinning process. Its main function is to open and comb the cotton fibers and remove impurities in order to produce cotton slivers suitable for the subsequent spinning process.
[0003] Carding devices can finely comb cotton fibers to form a uniform and delicate cotton web. However, during the operation of traditional carding devices, cotton fibers and impurities tend to accumulate on the carding rollers. This not only reduces carding efficiency but may also adversely affect the continuous operation of the equipment and shorten its service life. Currently, the common solution is to rely on manual cleaning at regular intervals. This not only increases the labor intensity of workers but also negatively impacts the continuity and efficiency of the production process. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-cleaning carding device, including a housing 1, a rotating roller 2 rotatably connected inside the housing 1, and a plurality of carding needles 3 fixedly connected to the rotating roller 2. By rotating the rotating roller 2, the carding needles 3 can be used to card the cotton fibers. A cleaning ring 6 is fitted on the rotating roller 2, and a plurality of grooves 7 adapted to the carding needles 3 are provided on the cleaning ring 6. A limiting component is provided on the rotating roller 2 to fix the cleaning ring 6, and the limiting component can make the cleaning ring 6 rotate synchronously with the rotating roller 2. An annular groove 10 is provided on the cleaning ring 6. Two electric telescopic rods 11 are fixedly connected to the housing 1, and one end of each electric telescopic rod 11 extends into the interior of the annular groove 10. A stop block 12 is fixedly connected to the end of each electric telescopic rod 11 extending into the annular groove 10. By using the electric telescopic rods 11 and the stop block 12 in cooperation, the cleaning ring 6 can be pulled to move along the surface of the rotating roller 2. The grooves 7 can be used to easily remove impurities from the rotating roller 2, thereby ensuring the working condition of the device.
[0021] The limiting component includes a set of protrusions 9 fixedly connected to the rotating roller 2. The cleaning ring 6 has a set of notches 8 that are adapted to the protrusions 9 inside. Each protrusion 9 is set inside the notch 8. By using the cooperation of the protrusions 9 and the notch 8, the cleaning ring 6 can be fixed to the rotating roller 2, so that it can rotate synchronously with the rotating roller 2, and the cleaning ring 6 can also move smoothly along the rotating roller 2.
[0022] The other ends of the two electric telescopic rods 11 extend to the outside of the housing 1. A protective shell 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. The two electric telescopic rods 11 are both located inside the protective shell 13. Two reinforcing ribs 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. The upper end face of the two reinforcing ribs 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the protective shell 13. The protective shell 13 can protect the electric telescopic rods 11. At the same time, the protective shell 13 can also serve as a carrier plate, which is convenient for workers to place some commonly used tools and items.
[0023] The housing 1 is fixedly connected to a negative pressure fan 4, and a filter screen 5 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The filter screen 5 is located inside the negative pressure fan 4. The negative pressure fan 4 can create a negative pressure inside the housing 1, which can prevent the debris generated during the production process from flying outward and ensure the cleanliness of the working environment around the equipment.
[0024] The housing 1 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 17, and the output end of the drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to the input end of the rotating roller 2. The drive motor 17 can provide power to the device to drive the rotating roller 2 to rotate and process the cotton fibers.
[0025] The upper end face of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the feed hopper 15, and the feed hopper 15 is hinged to the cover plate 16. The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with the discharge port 21. The feed hopper 15 can conveniently add materials into the device, and the cover plate 16 can close the feed hopper 15.
[0026] Two sets of upright plates 19 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. Each set of upright plates 19 has a base plate 20 fixedly connected to its lower end face. Each base plate 20 has an installation opening. A control box 18 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The upright plates 19 can be used to place the device stably. The control box 18 facilitates the operation of the device by the staff.
[0027] Working Principle: When using the device, the operator first needs to place it in the working position. Upon starting, the operator can open the cover 16 and pour the cotton fibers to be processed into the housing 1. Then, the drive motor 17 is started, and the power generated will drive the rotating roller 2 to rotate, effectively combing the cotton fibers inside the housing 1. During the process, cotton fibers and impurities may adhere to and accumulate on the rotating roller 2, which may affect the normal operation of the equipment. To ensure continuous and efficient operation, when cleaning is needed, the operator can activate the electric telescopic rod 11 to drive the cleaning ring 6 to move along the rotating roller 2. The groove 7 on the cleaning ring 6 is designed to match the carding needles 3, effectively scraping away debris from the surface of the rotating roller 2, thus maintaining the device's optimal operating condition. Furthermore, the device is also equipped with a negative pressure fan 4, which creates a negative pressure environment inside the housing 1, effectively preventing debris generated during production from flying outwards. This not only improves the cleanliness of the workplace but also significantly enhances the overall performance and safety of the device.
[0028] 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.
