Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton collectors, and in particular to a cotton collector that prevents knotting. Background Technology

[0002] The existing Chinese patent application number 202222960983.6, entitled "A Cotton Fiber Collector That Prevents Knotting," describes a method where cotton fibers are introduced into a bottom pipe through an air duct, separated and guided by a guide plate, transferred to the bottom of a conveyor belt through a vacuum conveying pipe, and excess fibers are scraped off and re-adsorbed onto the conveyor belt by an arc-shaped scraper, thus achieving the effect of preventing knotting.

[0003] However, while the guide plates can divert and feed cotton materials during the above process, they also reduce the single conveying space in the conveyor box. As a result, when larger cotton materials are moved between the guide plates by vacuum adsorption, their volume is easily compressed due to the limited space between the guide plates. However, the loose cotton materials entering between the guide plates and being compressed also easily increase their own weight. Consequently, the compressed volume and weight are greater than or equal to the vacuum adsorption force, causing them to block between the guide plates. This can easily affect the effectiveness of feeding materials onto the guide plates, reduce the effectiveness of the guide plates, and also affect the normal operation of the cotton collector, thus reducing the practicality of the cotton collector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cotton collector that prevents knotting, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cotton collector for preventing knotting, comprising a cotton collector body, a conveying box and multiple guide plates, wherein the conveying box is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the cotton collector body, and the multiple guide plates are fixedly disposed in the inner cavity of the conveying box;

[0006] Each of the guide plates is provided with an anti-blocking structure, the anti-blocking structure including:

[0007] The first anti-blocking rod is movably disposed in the inner cavity of the conveyor box and moves between the guide plates. A support rod is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the first anti-blocking rod. The support rod is used to support the position of the first anti-blocking rod. Both ends of the support rod are provided with moving grooves, which are used to limit the range of movement of the support rod.

[0008] Multiple second anti-blocking rods are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first anti-blocking rod. The outer walls of the second anti-blocking rods are all arc-shaped. The second anti-blocking rods move with the first anti-blocking rod between the guide plates for the movement of cotton material.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-blocking structure further includes an insert rod and an insert slot. The insert slot is formed on the inner wall of the first anti-blocking rod, the insert rod is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the support rod, and the insert rod is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the insert slot. The connection between the insert rod and the insert slot is used for the first anti-blocking rod to move with the support rod.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the support rod is provided with a driving structure, the driving structure comprising:

[0011] A connecting block, which is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod, and is movably disposed in the inner cavity of one of the movable slots;

[0012] A pull rope is provided, one end of which is fixedly mounted to the outer wall of the connecting block, and the other end of which is fixedly mounted to a winding rod. The winding rod is rotatably mounted on the back of the conveyor box. The winding rod drives the connecting block to move laterally along one of the inner cavities of the moving groove by winding and unwinding the pull rope.

[0013] Preferably, the drive structure further includes a gear and a toothed plate, the toothed plate being fixedly disposed on the back of the conveyor box, the gear being fixedly disposed on one end of the support rod, and the gear meshing with the toothed plate.

[0015] Preferably, one end of the winding rod is rotatably inserted into the back of the conveyor box, and the other end of the winding rod is provided with a driving component.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes a combination of anti-blocking and driving structures to promptly push the cotton material away from multiple guide plates when blockage occurs. The movement and rotation of the first and second anti-blocking rods reduce the volume of the blocked cotton material, allowing it to move upwards with vacuum adsorption. Simultaneously, the continued movement of the first anti-blocking rod provides additional pushing force, facilitating the feeding of cotton material between the guide plates. This improves the smoothness and effectiveness of cotton feeding, ensuring the normal operation of the cotton collector and enhancing its overall performance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The cotton collector shown includes a cotton collector body 1, a conveying box 2, and multiple guide plates 3. The conveying box 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the cotton collector body 1, and the multiple guide plates 3 are all fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the conveying box 2. The working principle between the cotton collector body 1, the conveying box 2, and the guide plates 3 is consistent with the prior art, such as the Chinese patent with application number 202222960983.6 entitled "A Cotton Collector for Cotton Fibers That Are Not Easily Knotted". Therefore, the working principle between the cotton collector body 1, the conveying box 2, and the guide plates 3 will not be described further.

[0026] First, an anti-blocking structure 4 is provided between the guide plates 3. The anti-blocking structure 4 includes a first anti-blocking rod 401 and multiple second anti-blocking rods 402. The first anti-blocking rod 401 is movably disposed in the inner cavity of the conveying box 2 and moves between the guide plates 3. A support rod 403 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the first anti-blocking rod 401. The support rod 403 is used to support the position of the first anti-blocking rod 401. Multiple second anti-blocking rods 402 are fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the first anti-blocking rod 401. The outer wall of the second anti-blocking rod 402 is arc-shaped. The second anti-blocking rods 402 move with the first anti-blocking rod 401 between the guide plates 3 for the movement of cotton material.

[0027] Secondly, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second anti-blocking rod 402 is symmetrically and equally spaced along the outer wall of the first anti-blocking rod 401. The arc-shaped outer wall of the second anti-blocking rod 402 prevents the cotton material from being excessively torn when it moves between the guide plates 3. The arc-shaped end face of the second anti-blocking rod 402 can reduce the tearing of the cotton material and gently push the blocked cotton material, thereby restoring the conveying space between the guide plates 3 and ensuring the effectiveness of the diversion and feeding of the guide plates 3.

[0028] The support rod 403 has a moving groove 404 at both ends. The moving groove 404 is used to limit the range of movement of the support rod 403. The inner cavity of one of the moving grooves 404 is connected to the inner cavity and the back of the conveying box 2. The outer wall of the support rod 403 is symmetrically fixed with sealing gaskets. The sealing gaskets are either elastic rubber or elastic silicone and are wavy. As the support rod 403 moves, they are stretched or squeezed. The sealing gaskets are used to prevent the cotton material from running out of the inner cavity of one of the moving grooves 404.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support rod 403 is interlocked with the first anti-blocking rod 401, allowing the first anti-blocking rod 401 to be installed in the inner cavity of the conveying box 2. Both ends of the support rod 403 are movably interlocked with the inner cavities of the two moving grooves 404, allowing the support rod 403 to move along the inner cavity of the moving grooves 404. This enables the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the second anti-blocking rod 402 to move synchronously. The moving grooves 404 are inclined, with the inclination angle matching that of the guide plate 3. Therefore, when cotton material becomes blocked between the guide plates 3, the support rod 403 can be moved, causing the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the second anti-blocking rod 402 to move within the space between the guide plates 3. This allows the cotton material to be pushed, relieving the blockage between the guide plates 3 and providing convenience for the diversion and feeding of materials between the guide plates 3. It also improves the effectiveness of the material feeding between the guide plates 3.

[0030] Next, the anti-blocking structure 4 also includes an insertion rod 405 and an insertion slot 406. The insertion slot 406 is opened on the inner wall of the first anti-blocking rod 401. The insertion rod 405 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support rod 403. The insertion rod 405 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the insertion slot 406. The connection between the insertion rod 405 and the insertion slot 406 is used for the first anti-blocking rod 401 to move with the support rod 403.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inner cavity of the slot 406 is connected to both ends of the first anti-blocking rod 401. The insertion rod 405 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the slot 406 through the insertion of the support rod 403 into the inner cavity of the first anti-blocking rod 401. The sliding insertion between the insertion rod 405 and the slot 406 restricts the connection between the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the support rod 403, allowing the first anti-blocking rod 401 to move with the support rod 403 and rotate with the rotation of the support rod 403. This enables the second anti-blocking rod 402 to rotate synchronously and push the cotton material, improving the efficiency of pushing the material by the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the second anti-blocking rod 402. This also makes the disassembly and assembly of the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the support rod 403 more convenient, providing flexibility and efficiency for their disassembly and assembly.

[0032] Furthermore, a drive structure 5 is provided at one end of the support rod 403. The drive structure 5 includes a connecting block 502 and a pull rope 501. The connecting block 502 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod 403 and is movably disposed in the inner cavity of one of the moving grooves 404. One end of the pull rope 501 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the connecting block 502, and the other end of the pull rope 501 is fixedly disposed on a winding rod 503. The winding rod 503 is rotatably disposed on the back of the conveyor box 2. The winding rod 503 drives the connecting block 502 to move laterally along the inner cavity of one of the moving grooves 404 by winding and unwinding the pull rope 501. One end of the winding rod 503 is rotatably inserted into the back of the conveyor box 2, and the other end of the winding rod 503 is provided with a drive component. The drive structure 5 also includes a gear 504 and a toothed plate 505. The toothed plate 505 is fixedly disposed on the back of the conveyor box 2, and the gear 504 is fixedly disposed on one end of the support rod 403. The gear 504 meshes with the toothed plate 505.

[0033] Finally, as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the drive unit at the other end of the winding rod 503 can be either a manual throttle or an electric motor, depending on the actual use. By rotating, the winding rod 503 can wind and unwind the pull rope 501, thereby driving the connecting block 502 to move along the inner cavity of the moving groove 404. This, in turn, drives the support rod 403 to move, thus moving the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the second anti-blocking rod 402 between the guide plates 3 to push away the blocked cotton material, thereby relieving the blockage between the guide plates 3. Simultaneously, as the support rod 403 moves, a gear 504 is fixedly connected to its end. Furthermore, since gear 504 meshes with toothed plate 505, while support rod 403 drives gear 504 to move, gear 504 will rotate under the cooperation of toothed plate 505. This will drive the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the second anti-blocking rod 402 to rotate synchronously, thereby pushing the cotton material while rotating. For larger cotton materials, the volume of the cotton material can be reduced by the insertion of the end of the second anti-blocking rod 402 during rotation. This provides convenience for pushing the cotton material and also enhances the effectiveness and practicality of the first anti-blocking rod 401 and the second anti-blocking rod 402.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
