[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] As shown in Figure 1, a preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an opening device, which includes a frame 1 on which rollers 2, cylinders 3, and doffers 4 are sequentially connected. Specifically, cylinder 3 is installed on one side of roller 2, and doffer 4 is installed on the side of cylinder 3 away from roller 2. The interaction between cylinder 3 and doffer 4 sorts and arranges the fibers. A cutting blade 5 is installed on the side of doffer 4 away from cylinder 3 to cut the fibers on doffer 4. Below the cutting blade 5 is a support roller 6, which is a smooth roller, used to assist in guiding the cut fibers into the next process.

[0020] The top of the doffer 4 is equipped with a doffer cleaning structure, as shown in Figure 2. The doffer cleaning structure includes a cleaning roller shaft 7, the surface of which is provided with several brush bundles. Both ends of the cleaning roller shaft 7 are respectively equipped with seated bearings 8. Each seated bearing 8 is equipped with a U-shaped bracket 9. The specific assembly structure is as follows: the seated bearing 8 is located inside the U-shaped bracket 9. The bottom of the seated bearing 8 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the U-shaped bracket 9 by a spring 10. The left side of the seated bearing 8 is slidably connected to the inner left wall of the U-shaped bracket 9, and the right side of the seated bearing 8 is slidably connected to the inner right wall of the U-shaped bracket 9. The above sliding connection adopts the method of groove and slider. Specifically, a vertical groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the seated bearing 8, and a slider (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped bracket 9. The groove and the slider are slidably connected.

[0021] Two U-shaped brackets 9 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and a pressing assembly is provided above each U-shaped bracket 9. The pressing assembly includes a cam 11, which is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 via a bearing. The cam 11 is provided with a handle 12 and an L-shaped locking rod 13.
