Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton processing technology, specifically to a cotton feeder for cotton processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cotton feeders are specialized machines used in the textile industry to automatically and evenly transport raw cotton to opening equipment. These machines typically employ unique roller and mechanical spiked roller feeding mechanisms, replacing traditional manual feeding methods, reducing labor intensity, and mechanizing the feeding of seed cotton in the yard. With the continuous development of cotton feeding, various feeding devices have emerged, such as a cotton feeder for cotton processing.

[0003] A search revealed a cotton feeding machine for cotton processing, patent number CN202323207114.7. The machine includes a feeding hopper, a support base fixed to the surface of the feeding hopper, four T-shaped guide rods symmetrically fixed to the top of the support base, and a sliding plate slidably connected to the surfaces of the four T-shaped guide rods. A tamping rod for unblocking the feeding hopper is fixed to the top of the sliding plate. A drive assembly for driving the sliding plate to reciprocate vertically is provided on the top of the support base. This utility model, by configuring the support base, T-shaped guide rods, sliding plate, tamping rod, and drive assembly, can drive the tamping... The rod moves back and forth inside the feeding hopper, preventing cotton from clogging the hopper and eliminating the need for manual unclogging, making it convenient and improving production efficiency. However, while this device can drive the rod to move back and forth inside the feeding hopper to prevent clogging, the cotton entering the feeder is uneven. As the rod moves back and forth, impurities inside the cotton also enter the feeding hopper. Therefore, a cotton feeder is proposed that can screen out most of the impurities in the cotton through vibration and can feed the cotton evenly through a sloping filter screen. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cotton feeder for cotton processing. It has the advantages of being able to screen out most of the impurities in the cotton through vibration and to feed the cotton evenly through the inclined filter screen. This solves the problem that the cotton enters the feeder unevenly and that impurities inside the cotton also enter the feed hopper as the tamping rod moves up and down.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of screening out most of the impurities in cotton through vibration and feeding the cotton evenly through the inclined screen, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cotton feeder for cotton processing, including a feeding hopper, a support frame fixedly connected to the right side of the feeding hopper, and a feeding mechanism provided on the top of the support frame;

[0006] The feeding mechanism includes a spring shock absorber, an open feeding channel, an electric vibrator, an inclined filter, a collection box, a key door, a discharge pipe, and a cover. The top of the support frame is equipped with a spring shock absorber. The open feeding channel has an electric vibrator installed outside it. The bottom of the open feeding channel has an inclined filter. The bottom of the open feeding channel has a collection box fixedly installed. The right side of the collection box is hinged with a key door. The left side of the open feeding channel has a discharge pipe fixedly installed. The bottom of the discharge pipe is equipped with a cover.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed hopper, and bolt holes are present on the outside of the mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a second mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame, and the second mounting plate has threaded holes on its outer surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the inside of the feeding tube has four inclined surfaces. By setting these four inclined surfaces, the cotton can slide smoothly downwards through the inclined surfaces.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of spring shock absorbers is four. The tops of the four spring shock absorbers are fixedly connected to the open feed channel, and the bottoms of the four spring shock absorbers are fixedly connected to the support frame. By setting four spring shock absorbers, the vibration of the electric vibrator can be buffered.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of electric vibrators is two, and the two electric vibrators are arranged symmetrically front and back. By setting two symmetrical electric vibrators, the cotton can be effectively vibrated.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This cotton feeding machine for cotton processing, through the setting of a feeding mechanism, when cotton feeding is required, mounting plates one and two are bolted to the top of the corresponding cotton equipment. The feeding hopper is located at the inlet of the cotton equipment. Then, by turning on two electric vibrators, the open feeding channel and the discharge pipe begin to vibrate. Cotton is then put into the open feeding channel. Through vibration and filtration by the inclined filter screen, impurities on the cotton fall into the collection box. Then, the cotton continuously enters the feeding hopper through continuous vibration and the tilt angle of the inclined filter screen, thus achieving uniform feeding. This feeding mechanism can screen out most of the impurities in the cotton through vibration and can also feed the cotton evenly through the shaking of the inclined filter screen.
