Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile equipment technology, and in particular to a cotton conveying device for preventing choking on a cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] The cotton cleaning machine is a device that integrates the conveying, sorting, and removal of foreign fibers (such as the QWHOAO cleaning machine developed by Wuhan Zhuomu Company). The cleaning machine consists of three parts: cotton opener, foreign fiber remover, and cotton collector. It is currently used in the field of cotton foreign fiber removal technology. It achieves rapid and efficient removal of impurities in cotton through cotton feeding, cotton opening, cotton suction, impurity removal by spraying, and cotton collection.

[0003] The current cleaning machines are not highly intelligent. During use, the cleaning machine's licker-in rollers frequently jam, while the cotton conveying curtain continues to run and convey cotton, causing a major choking phenomenon. This is very difficult to handle and can even damage equipment parts, seriously affecting normal production. As a result, the cleaning machine's working efficiency is reduced and it cannot meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a cotton conveying device for preventing choking in a cotton sorting machine.

[0005] This utility model discloses a cotton conveying device for preventing choking in a cotton sorting machine, comprising a cotton conveying curtain, a cotton inlet hopper, a baffle, a limit switch, an elastic element, and a controller. The cotton inlet hopper is vertically arranged at the cotton inlet of the sorting machine, and the conveying end of the cotton conveying curtain is arranged at the inlet of the cotton inlet hopper.

[0006] The cotton inlet hopper has a transverse opening on its side wall that communicates with its interior. A slider is fixed to one side of the baffle. The baffle is located inside the cotton inlet hopper, and the slider is slidably mounted on the transverse opening. The baffle can slide relative to the transverse opening to change the size of the inner diameter of the cotton inlet hopper. An elastic element is transversely mounted at one end of the transverse opening. One end of the elastic element is fixed to the outer wall of the cotton inlet hopper, and the other end is fixed to the slider. The limit switch is located at the other end of the transverse opening. The controller is electrically connected to the limit switch and the cotton conveying curtain.

[0007] Furthermore, the cotton feeding hopper has transverse openings on both sides of its side walls that communicate with its interior, and the baffle has sliders on both sides.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing post is provided on the outer wall of the cotton feeding hopper, and one end of the elastic element is fixed on the fixing post.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing post is cylindrical, and a recessed limiting ring is provided on its outer circumference. The elastic element is a tension spring, and the hook of the tension spring is disposed inside the limiting ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the slider is cylindrical, and a recessed limiting ring is provided on its outer circumference, and the pull hook of the tension spring is disposed inside the limiting ring.

[0011] Furthermore, both the fixing post and the slider are made of metal.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall and baffle of the cotton feeding hopper are made of metal.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the cotton inlet hopper is open, and the conveying end of the cotton conveying curtain is located at the top of the cotton inlet hopper.

[0014] This utility model discloses a cotton conveying device for preventing cotton choking in a cotton sorting machine. When cotton pile-up or jamming occurs, the licker-in roller jams while the cotton conveying curtain continues to transport cotton for a period of time. The cotton in the cotton hopper accumulates, pushing the baffle closer to the inner wall of the cotton hopper. The slider on the baffle slides along the transverse opening. When the cotton accumulates to a certain extent, the slider moves to contact the limit switch. The limit switch transmits information to the controller, which controls the cotton conveying curtain to stop running to prevent the cotton layer from becoming too thick and causing choking, thereby improving the working efficiency of the cotton sorting machine.

[0019] like Figure 1 The present invention discloses a cotton conveying device for preventing choking in a cleaning machine, comprising a cotton conveying curtain 1, a cotton inlet hopper 2, a baffle 3, a limit switch 4, an elastic element 5, and a controller. The cotton inlet hopper 2 is vertically arranged at the cotton inlet of the cleaning machine 6, and the conveying end of the cotton conveying curtain 1 is arranged at the inlet of the cotton inlet hopper 2.

[0020] The cotton inlet hopper 2 is also provided with a transverse opening 7 that communicates with its interior. A slider 8 is fixed on one side of the baffle 3. The baffle 3 is set inside the cotton inlet hopper 2. The slider 8 is slidably set on the transverse opening 7. The baffle 3 can slide relative to the transverse opening 7 to change the size of the inner diameter of the cotton inlet hopper 2. An elastic element 5 is transversely set at one end of the transverse opening 7. One end of the elastic element 5 is fixed on the outer wall of the cotton inlet hopper 2, and the other end is fixed on the slider 8. A limit switch 4 is set at the other end of the transverse opening 7. The controller (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to the limit switch 4 and the cotton conveying curtain 1.

[0021] This utility model discloses a cotton conveying device for preventing cotton choking in a cotton sorting machine. When cotton pile-up or jamming occurs, the licker-in roller jams while the cotton conveying curtain 1 continues to convey cotton for a period of time. The cotton in the cotton inlet hopper 2 accumulates, pushing the baffle 3 closer to the inner wall of the cotton inlet hopper 2. The slider 8 on the baffle 3 slides along the transverse opening 7. When the cotton accumulates to a certain extent, the slider 8 moves to contact the limit switch 4. The limit switch 4 transmits information to the controller, which controls the cotton conveying curtain 1 to stop running to prevent the cotton layer from becoming too thick and causing choking, thus improving the working efficiency of the sorting machine 6. Here, the controller controls an electric device to stop running, which is existing technology. Therefore, the controller only needs to control the electric drive device of the cotton conveying curtain 1 to stop running, which is existing technology.

[0022] Both the limit switch 4 and the controller are products that can be purchased on the market, such as the LX19 series limit switches.
