Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton processing technology, specifically to a device for separating cotton seeds during cotton processing. Background Technology
[0002] The main device for separating cotton seeds in cotton processing is the saw gin. The saw gin uses a high-speed rotating disc saw blade to hook and pull cotton fibers through the gaps between the ribs, separating them from the cotton seeds. This machine is aesthetically pleasing, practical, has a simple transmission, low vibration, low noise, and is easy to install, operate, and maintain. With the continuous development of gins, various devices for separating cotton seeds have emerged, such as a device for separating cotton seeds in cotton processing.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent (CN202321797487.1) for separating cotton seeds during cotton processing. The device includes a feeding structure, a seed removal structure, and a collection structure. The seed removal structure is located below the feeding structure, and the collection structure is located below the seed removal structure. The feeding structure includes a discharge port, a feeding conveyor belt, a parallel roller, and cotton-pulling teeth A. The seed removal structure includes a circular saw blade, a dropping slide, a screen, a seed-blocking plate, the circular saw blade, cotton-pulling teeth B, and a blower. The collection structure includes a spray nozzle, a discharge conveyor belt, and a cotton-discharge pipe. This utility model, by setting up the feeding structure, seed removal structure, and collection structure, enables the separation of cotton seeds. Furthermore, it makes cottonseed collection more convenient. By using a screen and seed baffle, all separated cottonseeds can be collected, and the cottonseeds can continue to fall, avoiding the need for manual operation during discharge and improving efficiency. Although the screen and seed baffle can ensure the collection of all separated cottonseeds, the separated cottonseeds are still mixed with small impurities such as broken leaves, cotton husks, and dust, which affect the quality of subsequent processing. Traditional solutions rely on manual secondary screening, which is not only inefficient but also increases labor costs. Therefore, it is proposed to add a large particle impurity screening and dust suction module to the existing cottonseed separation structure to improve cottonseed purity and production efficiency.

[0029] 3) The larger aperture of the screen 302 allows cotton seeds to fall off, and the falling cotton seeds and smaller impurities are drawn away by the pipe-type fan 303.
[0030] 4) Finally, the cotton seeds are separated by the filter 7 and fall into the collection box 306.
[0031] In summary, this cotton seed separation device for cotton processing, by setting up a cleaning mechanism 3, allows the raw material to be placed inside the ginning mill 1 when cotton seed separation is required. The ginning mill 1 separates the cotton seeds, and the cotton seeds and impurities fall into the cleaning box 2 through the feed pipe 4. The vibrator 301 is started by the PLC controller 9, and the screen 302 filters out large particles of impurities such as cotton husks. The large aperture of the screen 302 allows the cotton seeds to fall. The falling cotton seeds and smaller impurities are drawn away by the pipe-type fan 303 and separated by the filter screen 7. The cotton seeds fall into the collection box 306. This cleaning mechanism 3 can add a large particle impurity screening and dust suction module to the existing cotton seed separation structure, thereby improving the purity of cotton seeds and production efficiency.
