Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to an integrated machine for picking up and cleaning cotton that has fallen to the ground. Background Technology
[0002] Because cotton is lightweight, it is easily blown to the ground by the wind. Existing cotton harvesters are mainly designed for picking cotton from the vines; however, using these machines to collect fallen cotton often results in a large amount of soil being mixed in, affecting the quality of the cotton. Therefore, most cotton collection still relies on manual labor, but this method is inefficient, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has high labor costs. Furthermore, existing cotton-collecting machinery faces many challenges, such as slow processing speed, high impurity content, and unreasonable mechanical structure design.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an integrated machine for picking up and cleaning up cotton that has fallen to the ground, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide an integrated machine for picking up and cleaning up cotton on the ground.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an integrated machine for picking up and cleaning fallen cotton, comprising: a frame with casters at the bottom and a traction head and a drive gearbox at the front; a picking component located at the front of the frame for picking up fallen cotton; a waste removal component located behind the picking component for removing impurities from the cotton picked up by the picking component; and a conveying component located behind the waste removal component for conveying the collected cotton to a collection box.
[0006] Furthermore, the picking assembly includes a picking brush roller rotatably connected to the front of the frame, the picking brush roller having bristles arranged in a circumferential array.
[0007] Furthermore, the impurity removal assembly includes a spiral bar machine, a first toothed roller, a first cotton removal roller, a second toothed roller, and a second cotton removal roller, which are sequentially arranged behind the picking brush roller. An arc-shaped first impurity removal grid is provided below the spiral bar machine. The spiral bar machine, the first toothed roller, the first cotton removal roller, the second toothed roller, and the second cotton removal roller are all provided with transmission gears and are connected to the drive gearbox for transmission.
[0008] Furthermore, an arc-shaped second row of debris grids is provided below the first toothed roller, and an arc-shaped third row of debris grids is provided below the second toothed roller.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes: a collection trough located behind the second cotton removal roller; a transverse auger rotatably connected inside the collection trough; a conveying pipe located at the end of the collection trough; and a fan connected to the conveying pipe via an air supply pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the first cotton removal roller is disposed adjacent to the first toothed roller, and the second cotton removal roller is disposed adjacent to the second toothed roller.
[0011] Furthermore, a first baffle is provided above the picking brush roller, the first baffle being arc-shaped and extending above the first waste removal grid.
[0012] Furthermore, a second baffle is provided between the first and second waste removal grids, and a third baffle is provided between the first cotton removal roller and the third waste removal grid.
[0013] Advantages of this utility model: This utility model provides a ground-based cotton picking and cleaning integrated machine, which integrates multiple parts such as a frame, picking component, waste removal component, and conveying component to form a complete cotton harvesting system. The frame is equipped with casters for easy movement between different fields, and the front traction head and drive gearbox provide a stable power source for the entire system. The picking component, located at the front of the frame, uses a rotating picking brush roller to gently and effectively pick up cotton from the ground using a circumferential array of bristles, improving picking efficiency. The waste removal component, through the coordinated operation of a spiral rod mill, a first toothed roller, a first cotton removal roller, a second toothed roller, and a second cotton removal roller, separates impurities from the cotton using a first, second, and third waste removal grid, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the waste removal process. The conveying component transports the waste-removed cotton to a collection box, achieving automated cotton collection. By setting up multiple baffles located above the picking brush roller, between the impurity removal grid, and between the cotton removal roller and the impurity removal grid, the cotton flow is not only guided but also effectively prevented from flowing back, thus further improving the quality of cotton harvesting.

[0029] Furthermore, the first cotton removal roller 7 is disposed adjacent to the first toothed roller 6, and the second cotton removal roller 9 is disposed adjacent to the second toothed roller 8.
[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 3 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, a first baffle 15 is provided above the picking brush roller 3. The first baffle 15 is arc-shaped and extends above the first waste removal grid 5.
[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 3 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, a second baffle 16 is provided between the first waste removal grid 5 and the second waste removal grid 601, and a third baffle 17 is provided between the first cotton removal roller 7 and the third waste removal grid 801.
[0032] It is understood that this embodiment provides an integrated machine for picking up and cleaning fallen cotton, combining picking, waste removal, and conveying functions to solve the problems of low efficiency and high impurity levels during the picking up of fallen cotton. It includes a frame 1 with casters underneath, and a traction head and drive gearbox 2 at the front of the frame 1 to provide power to the entire machine. The picking component is located at the front of the frame 1, and uses a circumferentially arrayed brush roller 3 connected to it to pick up cotton from the ground. Behind the picking component is a waste removal system, including multiple augers, toothed rollers, and cotton-removing rollers. These components are connected to the drive gearbox 2 via transmission gears, working together to effectively separate impurities from the cotton. After being picked up by the picking brush roller 3, the cotton is conveyed to the spiral skewer machine 4. The cotton is then conveyed by the spiral skewer machine 4 to the first toothed roller 6. At this time, the first impurity removal grid 5 set below the spiral skewer machine 4 initially removes impurities from the collected cotton. The first toothed roller 6 rotates counterclockwise, bringing the cotton into the second impurity removal grid 601 below for secondary impurity removal. Since the first cotton removal roller 7 is set close to the first toothed roller 6, the rotation speed of the first cotton removal roller is greater than that of the first toothed roller 6, and the rotation direction is opposite. The cotton is picked up by the first cotton removal roller and enters the second toothed roller 8 behind. The above process is repeated, and the cotton is cleaned three times. The setting of multiple impurity removal grids allows impurities to be gradually removed, while the clean cotton continues to be conveyed. The conveying assembly is responsible for transporting the cotton after impurity removal to the collection box 14. The transverse auger 10 conveys the cotton to the end of the collection trough 11 near the conveying pipe 13. The fan 12 at the rear blows the cotton into the conveying pipe 13 and then into the collection box 14, which is located at the upper rear of the frame 1. To improve the impurity removal effect and cotton collection quality, this device is designed with multiple baffles, located above the picking brush roller 3, between the impurity removal grids, and between the cotton removal roller and the impurity removal grids, which guide the cotton flow and prevent impurities from flowing back.
[0033] The implementation of this utility model includes the following steps:
[0034] 1) Pick-up and Initial Conveying. 1. Brush Pick-up: The picking brush roller 3 of the picking platform rotates at high speed, generating wind force through centrifugal force. The brush bristles on the picking brush roller work in conjunction with the wind force to pick up the fallen cotton from the ground and convey it to the first spiral sliver machine. The slivers are welded to the spiral blades. After the cotton enters, it is dispersed to both sides under the propulsion of the spiral. The bottom of the sliver machine is equipped with a first row of impurity grids 5 arranged horizontally and welded from steel bars with a spacing of 16-18 mm. This grid removes small impurities such as dust and broken leaves, and distributes the cotton evenly. The cotton dispersed by the first spiral sliver machine enters the second spiral sliver machine. Its spiral direction is opposite to that of the first one, converging the cotton towards the center and directly throwing it to the first toothed roller 6 at the center position.
[0035] 2) Initial grabbing, impurity removal, and stripping. The first toothed roller 6 rotates at high speed, its saw teeth hooking and throwing the cotton and cotton stalks. During the upward conveying process, the cotton stalks fall through the gaps in the second impurity removal grid 601 due to their large size, while the cotton continues to rise with the first toothed roller 6. The rising cotton forms a roller-to-roll configuration with the first cotton stripping roller 7. The strip on the first cotton stripping roller 7 is the same length as the first cotton stripping roller and about 8 cm high. The distance between the top of the strip and the saw teeth is controlled between 0.1 and 0.3 mm. The first cotton stripping roller 7 rotates in the opposite direction at high speed, stripping the cotton from the saw teeth and throwing it into the second toothed roller 8.
[0036] 3) Secondary grabbing, impurity removal, and conveying. The second toothed roller 8 hooks the thrown cotton and a small amount of cotton stalks. During the upward rotation, the cotton stalks are separated again by the third impurity removal grid 801. The second toothed roller 8 and the second cotton removal roller 9 form a pair of rollers. The second cotton removal roller 9 also rotates in opposite directions at high speed, peeling the cotton from the saw teeth and discharging it into the collection trough 11.
[0037] 4) Pneumatic conveying and collection. The cotton entering the collection tank 11 is conveyed to the blower inlet by the rotation of the transverse auger 10. The blower 12 generates a strong wind to blow the cotton to the collection box 14.
[0038] 5) Collection and Packaging: The cotton that arrives at collection box 14 has been picked up and cleaned. It can then be collected, packed and processed in a unified manner.
[0039] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
