Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton-grabbing equipment technology, and more specifically to a fully automatic cotton-grabbing equipment for cotton yarn processing. Background Technology

[0002] A cotton grabber, also known as a bale grabber, is a machine in a processing unit that grabs cotton fibers from cotton bales. It is usually located at the beginning of the processing unit. There are many types of cotton grabbers, including top-grabbing, bottom-grabbing, reciprocating trolley, rotary trolley (or bale table), lifting trolley, and lifting platform types. The working principle of a cotton grabber is generally to grab fibers from the surface of the cotton bale using ribs or other structures, and then transport them to subsequent machines for further processing by airflow or mechanical means.

[0003] As shown in the prior art published in CN221094393U, although this prior art forms horn spikes on the outer circumference of the cotton-grabbing rollers through a cleaning mechanism, and then drives a pair of cotton-grabbing rollers to rotate synchronously through a motor and gears, the rotation of the pair of cotton-grabbing rollers is linked by the meshing of a pair of gears. Therefore, during the rotation of the pair of cotton-grabbing rollers, the horn spikes formed by the cleaning mechanism not only hook the cotton bales, but also clamp and transport the cotton bales to the bottom of the cotton suction hood. Even if a large number of cotton bales are attached to the surface of the horn spikes formed by the cleaning mechanism, the rotation of the cotton-grabbing rollers and the horn spikes formed by the cleaning mechanism can still clamp and transport the cotton bales, which is no longer just a simple hooking and transport of cotton bales, greatly improving the cotton-grabbing efficiency. However, this prior art relies on airflow energy to clean cotton clumps and is not good at cleaning cotton clumps with strong stickiness and high humidity. Therefore, this technical solution has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides a fully automatic cotton-grabbing device for cotton yarn processing. A first motor drives two belt-driven pulleys to rotate, which in turn drive corresponding linkage shafts. The figure-eight belt drives the two linkage shafts to rotate synchronously inwards. Furthermore, the fixed shaft and the movable roller rotate in opposite directions, causing relative motion between them. This effectively improves the cleaning effect of the soft brush on the cotton-grabbing rollers. Simultaneously, the mechanical scraping can directly act on the cotton clumps, resulting in a more thorough cleaning of sticky and highly moist cotton clumps, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic cotton-grabbing device for cotton yarn processing, including a mounting bracket, wherein an automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism for cotton yarn processing is installed inside the mounting bracket, and the automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism cleans the adhering cotton clumps through auxiliary components;

[0006] The auxiliary component includes two fixed shafts movably connected inside the mounting bracket via a rotating shaft. Each fixed shaft is equipped with multiple soft brushes for cleaning the automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism. The two fixed shafts are driven to rotate by a power component outside the mounting bracket.

[0007] The power component includes two linkage shafts and pulleys mounted outside the linkage shafts. The two pulleys are driven by a belt, which is in the shape of an 8. The end of the linkage shaft away from the pulley passes through the mounting bracket and is fixed together with the rotating shaft on the fixed shaft.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism includes two movable rollers movably connected inside the mounting bracket via a rotating shaft. Each movable roller is equipped with multiple cotton-grabbing sticks for grabbing cotton clumps, and two fixed shafts are respectively located on opposite sides of the tops of the two movable rollers.

[0009] The mounting bracket has two movable shafts on the side near the belt. Gears are fitted on the outside of the two movable shafts and the two gears mesh with each other. The end of the movable shaft away from the gear passes through the mounting bracket and is fixed together with the rotating shaft on the movable roller.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed bracket is installed on the side of the mounting bracket near the belt, and the fixed bracket is sleeved on the outside of the two pulleys, two gears, two linkage shafts and two movable shafts;

[0011] The first motor and the second motor are installed on the side of the fixed bracket away from the mounting bracket. The output shafts of the first motor and the second motor both pass through the fixed bracket and are fixed together with the linkage shaft and the movable shaft, respectively.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting plate on top, and two electric push rods for adjusting the height of the mounting bracket are mounted on the top of the mounting plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a suction cylinder mounted on top of a mounting bracket is provided between the two electric push rods, and the bottom end of the suction cylinder extends into the interior of the mounting bracket.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a support plate is sleeved on the outer side of the mounting plate near the fixed bracket, and a support column is provided at the bottom of the support plate away from the mounting plate. The end of the support plate away from the mounting plate is movably connected to the top of the support column through a rotating shaft.

[0015] The top of the support column has a cavity, and a servo motor is installed inside the cavity. The output shaft of the servo motor passes through the support column and is fixed together with the rotating shaft on the support plate.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, heat dissipation holes are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top of the support column, and the heat dissipation holes are connected to the cavity. A dustproof net is installed inside the heat dissipation holes.

[0017] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The first motor drives two belt-driven pulleys to rotate, and the two pulleys then drive their corresponding linkage shafts to rotate. The figure-eight belt drives the two linkage shafts to rotate inward synchronously, and the fixed shaft and the movable roller rotate in opposite directions, so that the fixed shaft and the movable roller move relative to each other. This effectively improves the cleaning effect of the soft brush on the cotton swabs, while the mechanical scraping can directly act on the cotton clumps, making the cleaning of sticky and moist cotton clumps more thorough.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5This utility model provides a fully automatic cotton-grabbing device for cotton yarn processing, including a mounting bracket 1. The mounting bracket 1 houses an automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism for cotton yarn processing. The automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism includes two movable rollers 22 movably connected inside the mounting bracket 1 via rotating shafts. Each movable roller 22 has multiple cotton-grabbing sticks 7 mounted on its exterior for grabbing cotton clumps. Two fixed shafts 2 are respectively located on opposite sides of the top ends of the two movable rollers 22. The mounting bracket 1 has two movable shafts 9 on its side near the belt 6. Gears 8 are fitted on the exterior of each movable shaft 9 and the two gears 8 mesh with each other. The end of the movable shaft 9 away from the gears 8 passes through the mounting bracket 1 and is fixed together with the rotating shaft on the movable roller 22.

[0027] When using the above-mentioned automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism to grab cotton clumps, the automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism inside the mounting bracket 1 needs to be adjusted to a suitable height. Therefore, a mounting plate 13 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 1, and two electric push rods 14 for adjusting the height of the mounting bracket 1 are installed on the top of the mounting plate 13. Thus, the height of the mounting bracket 1 can be adjusted by extending the electric push rods 14, and the mounting bracket 1 can be adjusted to a suitable height, so that the cotton-grabbing rollers 7 on the two movable rollers 22 can grab and process the cotton clumps.

[0028] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, after height adjustment, the automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism needs to be activated. A fixed bracket 10 is installed on the side of the mounting bracket 1 near the belt 6, and the fixed bracket 10 is sleeved on the outside of the two pulleys 5, two gears 8, two linkage shafts 4, and two movable shafts 9. A first motor 11 and a second motor 12 are installed on the side of the fixed bracket 10 away from the mounting bracket 1. The output shafts of the first motor 11 and the second motor 12 both pass through the fixed bracket 10 and are fixed together with the linkage shafts 4 and the movable shafts 9, respectively. Thus, the second motor 12 can drive the two movable shafts 9, which are driven by the meshing of the two gears 8, to rotate. The meshing of the two gears 8 allows the two movable shafts 9 to rotate inward synchronously, which facilitates the inward rotation of the two movable rollers 22 and the cotton-grabbing rollers 7 on them to grab the cotton clumps, thus achieving the automatic grabbing effect of the cotton clumps. Furthermore, since a cotton suction cylinder 15 is installed between the two electric push rods 14 and mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 1, and the bottom end of the cotton suction cylinder 15 extends into the interior of the mounting bracket 1, the cotton clumps that are grabbed can be sucked and transported to the corresponding processing equipment through the cotton suction cylinder 15.

[0029] At the same time, such as Figure 1-3As shown, to improve the efficiency of grasping cotton balls, a support plate 16 is sleeved on the outside of the end of the mounting plate 13 near the fixed bracket 10. A support column 17 is provided at the bottom of the end of the support plate 16 away from the mounting plate 13, and the end of the support plate 16 away from the mounting plate 13 is movably connected to the top of the support column 17 through a rotating shaft. A cavity 18 is opened inside the top of the support column 17, and a servo motor 19 is installed inside the cavity 18. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 passes through the support column 17 and is fixed together with the rotating shaft on the support plate 16. Thus, the servo motor 19 can drive the support plate 16 to rotate, and the support plate 16 can then drive the mounting plate 13 to rotate. The mounting plate 13 can simultaneously drive the automatic cotton grasping mechanism on the mounting bracket 1 to rotate around the support column 17, thereby achieving the effect of grasping cotton balls from all directions and improving the cotton grasping efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, since heat dissipation holes 20 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top of the support column 17, and the heat dissipation holes 20 are connected to the cavity 18, and a dustproof net 21 is installed inside the heat dissipation holes 20, air can circulate inside the cavity 18 through the heat dissipation holes 20, thereby avoiding the accumulation of heat in the servo motor 19 and causing abnormal situations such as overload, ensuring the operational stability of the servo motor 19. The dustproof net 21 can also block dust in the air and prevent dust from entering the cavity 18 and causing pollution.

[0031] For example Figure 4 and 5 As shown, during the cotton grabbing process, some cotton clumps adhere to the outside of the cotton grabbing roller 7, and the adhered cotton clumps affect the subsequent grabbing efficiency. Therefore, the automatic cotton grabbing mechanism cleans the adhered cotton clumps through an auxiliary component. The auxiliary component includes two fixed shafts 2 that are movably connected inside the mounting bracket 1 via a rotating shaft. Each fixed shaft 2 is equipped with multiple soft brushes 3 for cleaning the automatic cotton grabbing mechanism. The two fixed shafts 2 are driven to rotate by a power component outside the mounting bracket 1. The power component includes two linkage shafts 4 and pulleys 5 installed outside the linkage shafts 4. The two pulleys 5 are driven by a belt 6, which is figure-eight shaped. The end of the linkage shaft 4 away from the pulley 5 passes through the mounting bracket 1 and is fixed together with the rotating shaft on the fixed shaft 2.

[0032] While the automatic cotton-grabbing mechanism grabs cotton clumps, the first motor 11 drives the two pulleys 5, which are driven by the belt 6, to rotate. The two pulleys 5 then drive the corresponding linkage shafts 4 to rotate. Since the belt 6 is in a figure-eight shape, it can drive the two linkage shafts 4 to rotate inward synchronously. The linkage shafts 4 then drive the soft brush 3 on the fixed shaft 2 to clean the cotton-grabbing rollers 7 on the movable roller 22. The fixed shaft 2 and the movable roller 22 rotate in opposite directions, so that the fixed shaft 2 and the movable roller 22 move relative to each other. This can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the soft brush 3 on the cotton-grabbing rollers 7. Moreover, the mechanical scraping can directly act on the cotton clumps, making the cleaning of sticky and moist cotton clumps more thorough.

[0033] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
