Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton processing technology, and specifically to a cotton processing and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] The fibers produced by cotton are white or yellowish-white and can be made into fabrics of various specifications, from light and transparent voile to thick canvas and velvet. They are suitable for making all kinds of clothes, furniture fabrics and industrial fabrics. In modern society, many clothes are made of cotton. From the time cotton grows to when it is processed into woven finished products, it goes through many processes, one of which is drying the cotton while it is still moist.
[0003] Drying is a crucial step in cotton processing. Traditional drying equipment often uses a single-layer conveyor belt combined with hot air drying. However, cotton tends to clump together during feeding, leading to uneven heating and poor drying results. Furthermore, single-layer conveyor belts have low drying efficiency, making them unsuitable for large-scale processing needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cotton processing and drying device in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A cotton processing and drying device includes a drying box, a lower conveying assembly inside the drying box, three sets of floating assemblies on the drying box, and an upper conveying assembly on the three sets of floating assemblies and the drying box for conveying cotton via the lower and upper conveying assemblies. A dispersing assembly is provided on the drying box to disperse the cotton to be processed. A hot air drying assembly is provided on the drying box for drying the cotton.
[0007] Furthermore, the lower conveying assembly includes two sets of first conveying wheels that are rotatably inserted into the drying box, and a conveyor belt with a lower perforation is fitted on the two sets of first conveying wheels. A first motor is fixedly installed on the surface of the drying box, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the end of one set of first conveying wheels.
[0008] Furthermore, the floating assembly includes three sets of through slots formed on the surface of the drying chamber, each set of through slots having a slider slidably installed therein, and the opposing surfaces of the slider and the through slots being fixedly connected to a spring.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cotton processing and drying device includes a drying chamber 1, and a lower conveyor assembly 2 is installed inside the drying chamber 1; as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, specifically, the lower conveying assembly 2 includes two sets of first conveying wheels 201 that are rotatably inserted into the drying box 1, and a lower perforated conveyor belt 202 is fitted on the two sets of first conveying wheels 201. A first motor 203 is fixedly installed on the surface of the drying box 1, and the output end of the first motor 203 is fixedly connected to the end of one set of first conveying wheels 201.
[0025] More specifically, the first electric motor 203 drives one set of first conveyor wheels 201 to rotate, which in turn drives the lower perforated conveyor belt 202 to run, realizing the initial conveying of cotton. The lower perforated conveyor belt 202 helps air circulation, promotes initial drying, and supports the cotton to enter the subsequent processing stage.
[0026] The drying oven 1 is equipped with three sets of floating components 3; such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the floating component 3 includes three sets of through grooves 301 opened on the surface of the drying chamber 1. A slider 302 is slidably installed in each set of through grooves 301, and a spring 303 is fixedly connected to the opposite surface of the slider 302 and the through groove 301.
[0027] More specifically, the slider 302, under the action of the spring 303, can float up and down according to the amount and distribution of cotton, ensuring that the cotton remains loose during the conveying process, avoiding local accumulation, so that the cotton can be heated evenly and improving drying efficiency.
[0028] The three sets of floating components 3 and the drying box 1 are equipped with an upper conveying component 4, which, along with the lower conveying component 2 and the upper conveying component 4, is used to convey the cotton; for example Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the upper conveying assembly 4 includes a second conveying wheel 401 that is rotatably inserted into the slider 302 and the drying box 1. The surfaces of the four sets of second conveying wheels 401 are fitted with an upper conveyor belt 402. A second motor 403 is fixedly installed on the surface of one set of drying box 1, and the output end of the second motor 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the second conveying wheel 401 located on the drying box 1.
[0029] More specifically, the second motor 403 drives one of the second conveyor wheels 401 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper conveyor belt 402 to run. Together with the lower conveyor assembly 2, they form two layers of conveyor belts to squeeze and convey the cotton, ensuring that the cotton is in full contact with the hot air during the drying process and improving the drying effect.
[0030] The drying oven 1 is equipped with a cotton-dispersing component 5 to disperse the cotton to be processed; for example Figure 5As shown, specifically, the dispersing component 5 includes two sets of side plates 501 fixedly installed on the drying box 1, and a feed hopper 502 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the two sets of side plates 501. A third motor 503 is fixedly installed on the surface of the feed hopper 502, and a rotating shaft 504 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 503. Iron needles 505 are provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 504, and the rotating shaft 504 and the iron needles 505 are located at the output end of the feed hopper 502.
[0031] More specifically, the third motor 503 drives the rotating shaft 504 to rotate, and the iron needles 505 on the rotating shaft 504 disperse the cotton entering the feed hopper 502, so that the cotton is fully loosened before entering the lower conveying component 2, ensuring the uniformity of subsequent conveying and drying, and avoiding cotton clumping that affects the drying effect.
[0032] The drying chamber 1 is equipped with a hot air drying component 6 for drying cotton; such as Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the hot air drying assembly 6 includes a mounting bracket 601 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and a fan 602 is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 601. A heating tube 603 is fixedly installed inside the drying chamber 1 and below the fan 602. A controller 604 is fixedly installed on the surface of the drying chamber 1.
[0033] More specifically, the controller 604 controls the operation of the fan 602 and the heating tube 603 to generate hot air and distribute it evenly inside the drying chamber 1. The hot air passes through the cotton layer from top to bottom to dry the cotton. The heating tube 603 provides heat, and the fan 602 promotes the circulation of hot air, ensuring that the hot air can evenly contact each layer of cotton to achieve an efficient and uniform drying effect.
[0034] In summary: The upper conveyor component 4 and the lower conveyor component 2 work together to form two layers of conveyor belts, which compress and convey the cotton. The three sets of floating components 3 work together to keep the cotton in a properly loose state during the conveying process, preventing clumping and increasing the contact area between the cotton and the hot air. The cotton is dispersed by the cotton-dispersing component 5 located at the feed end, ensuring that the cotton is evenly distributed on the conveyor belt. At the same time, the hot air generated by the hot air drying component 6 runs through the entire drying box 1 to dry the cotton efficiently, ensuring that the cotton is heated evenly and improving the drying effect.
