Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feather shaping technology, specifically relating to a feather shaping device for the production of artificial badminton shuttlecocks. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of badminton shuttlecocks, the feathers need to be processed, that is, the feathers are combed and shaped so that the feathers have the same curvature after shaping, which makes it easier to cut the feathers in subsequent processes. When shaping the feathers, due to the influence of different feather lengths, thicknesses and original curvatures, different molds with different curvatures are needed to correct and shape the feathers for different conditions.

[0003] Existing methods for heating and shaping feathers of different specifications typically require changing molds. Changing molds involves installing and removing multiple bolts, making the entire process cumbersome and reducing the frequency of mold changes. Additionally, when heating and shaping feathers with heating wires, the high temperature of the heating wires is transferred to the shaping components, which can easily cause burns to workers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a feather shaping device for the production of artificial badminton shuttlecocks. Its purpose is to solve the problem that when heating and shaping feathers of different specifications, it is usually necessary to change the mold. Changing the mold requires installing and removing multiple bolts, which makes the overall operation process very cumbersome and reduces the frequency of replacement. At the same time, when heating and shaping feathers with heating wires, the high temperature of the heating wires is transferred to the shaping parts, which can easily cause workers to be burned.

[0005] This utility model provides a feather shaping device for the production of artificial badminton shuttlecocks, including a workbench, a conveying mechanism provided inside the workbench and on its upper surface, a fixing mechanism provided on the workbench, and a shaping mechanism provided in the fixing mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a mounting groove on the upper surface of the workbench located on the front side of the conveying mechanism, and an electromagnet is provided in the mounting groove, the electromagnet being connected to an external power source.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the electromagnet can generate magnetic attraction when connected to an external power source. At the same time, the electromagnet is powered by low-voltage DC, and the coil is wrapped in an insulating shell to eliminate the risk of electric shock.

[0008] Furthermore, the electromagnet is mounted on one side wall of the mounting groove and on the upper surface of the mounting groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the distributed layout of the electromagnets on the sidewalls and upper surface of the mounting slot optimizes the range of magnetic field action, improves the overall magnetic attraction ability, and thus improves the fastening ability.

[0010] Furthermore, the shaping mechanism includes a shaping block that is slidably installed in the mounting groove, and a locking plate is provided at the bottom of the shaping block. The locking plate is adapted to the mounting groove and is a magnet.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the mounting groove. The locking plate at the bottom of the shaping block can cooperate with the guide groove to achieve sliding insertion and removal. At the same time, the locking plate can be magnetically fixed with the electromagnet after being energized. Furthermore, the locking plate adopts an irregular magnetic pole design, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here. It can only be fully attracted when the shaping block is oriented correctly, thus avoiding damage to the mold caused by reverse installation.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the shaping block is provided with a shaping groove, which is located towards the center of the conveying mechanism.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the outlet of the shaping tank is coaxial with the conveying path of the conveying mechanism. After the feather is inserted into the shaping tank and heated and shaped, the feather can directly enter the conveying path from the outlet of the shaping tank, reducing the repetitive work caused by positional deviation.

[0014] Furthermore, a heating element is provided on the periphery of the channel wall of the shaping groove. The heating element includes a pressing panel fixed to the innermost side of the shaping groove. An asbestos layer is fixed to the outer side of the pressing panel. A heating wire is fixed to the outer side of the asbestos layer. A heat insulation layer is fixed to the outer side of the heating wire.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat pressing panel directly contacts the feathers and is made of aluminum alloy. It instantly transfers heat to the surface of the feathers to heat and shape them. The asbestos layer can evenly diffuse the heat from the heating wires and eliminate local hot spots. The heat insulation layer can reduce heat leakage and prevent heat from leaking to the shaping block, thus avoiding the heating of the shaping block and causing burns to the staff. The asbestos layer completely covers the heating wires to prevent feather debris from falling in and causing short circuits.

[0016] Furthermore, the length of the shaping block is less than the length of the feather.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when heating and shaping feathers, after the feather root is heated, it can directly extend out of the shaping block and enter the conveying mechanism, avoiding the situation where the shaping block is too long and the feather cannot extend, thus improving the overall practicality.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. Through the setting of the fixing mechanism, the snap-fit ​​plate can be magnetically fixed with the electromagnet after being put into the mounting slot, without the need for bolt fixing, which greatly reduces the overall installation and disassembly time and improves the installation and disassembly efficiency.

[0020] 2. By setting up a heat insulation layer, this utility model can form a barrier between the heating wire and the shaping block, thereby preventing the heat of the heating wire from being transferred to the shaping block, thus preventing the temperature of the shaping block from increasing and preventing workers from being burned during use.

[0021] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and the drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same components. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model embodiment proposes a feather shaping device for the production of artificial badminton shuttlecocks, including a workbench 1. The workbench 1 has a conveying mechanism 2 inside and on its upper surface. The conveying mechanism 2 is a bracket fixed to the upper surface of the workbench 1. A first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt are installed on the support frame. The lower surface of the first conveyor belt is parallel and tightly attached to the upper surface of the second conveyor belt. At the same time, a drive motor is installed inside the workbench 1. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the roller of the first conveyor belt through a chain. Meanwhile, the roller of the first conveyor belt drives the roller of the second conveyor belt to move through gears, so that the two belt surfaces that are in contact move in the same direction, thereby clamping and conveying the feathers.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-5 The workbench 1 is also equipped with a fixing mechanism 3. The fixing mechanism 3 includes a mounting groove 31 on the upper surface of the workbench 1 in front of the conveying mechanism 2. There are multiple mounting grooves 31. An electromagnet 32 ​​is installed in the mounting groove 31. The electromagnet 32 ​​is connected to an external power source. When the external power source is connected, the electromagnet 32 ​​can generate a magnetic attraction force. At the same time, the electromagnet 32 ​​is powered by low-voltage DC. The coil is wrapped in an insulating shell to eliminate the risk of electric shock. The electromagnet 32 ​​is installed on one side wall and the upper surface of the mounting groove 31. The distributed layout of the electromagnet 32 ​​on the side wall and the upper surface of the mounting groove 31 optimizes the range of magnetic field action, improves the overall magnetic attraction ability, and thus improves the fastening ability.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-5The fixing mechanism 3 includes a shaping mechanism 4, which comprises multiple shaping blocks 41 slidably installed in multiple mounting slots 31. The multiple shaping blocks 41 can be seamlessly spliced ​​together, thereby changing the bending angle of the shaping slots 43 and adapting to the heating and forming of feathers with different curvatures. The bottom of the shaping block 41 is provided with a locking plate 42, which is adapted to the mounting slots 31. The locking plate 42 is a magnet. The mounting slots 31 are provided with guide slots on both sides. The locking plate 42 at the bottom of the shaping block 41 can slide and be inserted and removed in conjunction with the guide slots. At the same time, the locking plate 42 can be magnetically attracted and fixed with the electromagnet 32 ​​after being energized. The locking plate 42 adopts an irregular magnetic pole design, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated here. It can only be fully attracted when the shaping block 41 is in the correct direction, avoiding damage to the mold caused by reverse installation.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-5 The surface of the shaping block 41 is provided with a shaping groove 43. The shaping grooves 43 on the surfaces of multiple shaping blocks 41 can be coaxial, thereby avoiding insertion failure due to the shaping grooves 43 not being aligned during the feather insertion process. The shaping grooves 43 are located towards the center of the conveying mechanism 2, and the outlet of the shaping grooves 43 is coaxial with the conveying path of the conveying mechanism 2. After the feather is inserted into the shaping groove 43 for heating and shaping, the feather can directly enter the conveying path from the outlet of the shaping groove 43, reducing repetitive work caused by positional deviation. The periphery of the channel wall of the shaping groove 43 is provided with a heating part 44. The heating part 44 includes a pressing panel 45 fixed to the innermost side of the shaping groove 43. An asbestos layer 46 is fixed to the outer side of the pressing panel 45, and a heating wire 47 is fixed to the outer side of the asbestos layer 46. The device has a heat insulation layer 48, and the heating panel 45 directly contacts the feathers. It is made of aluminum alloy and instantly transfers heat to the surface of the feathers for heating and shaping. The asbestos layer 46 can evenly diffuse the heat from the heating wire 47 and eliminate local hot spots. The heat insulation layer 48 can reduce heat leakage and prevent heat from leaking to the shaping block 41, thus avoiding the heating block 41 from overheating and causing burns to the staff. The asbestos layer 46 completely covers the heating wire 47 to prevent feather debris from falling in and causing short circuits. At the same time, the length of the shaping block 41 is less than the length of the feather. Therefore, when heating and shaping the feathers, after the root of the feather is heated, it can directly extend out of the shaping block 41 into the conveying mechanism 2, avoiding the situation where the shaping block 41 is too long and the feather cannot extend, thus improving the overall practicality.

[0034] The specific implementation method is as follows: In use, the shaping block 41 is first inserted into the shaping groove 43 by the locking plate 42 at its bottom. Then, the electromagnet 32 ​​is connected to the external power supply, so that the electromagnet 32 ​​becomes magnetic. Then, the locking plate 42 and the electromagnet 32 ​​are magnetically fixed. Then, the heating wire 47 is heated, and the feather is inserted from the shaping groove 43 into the shaping block 41. After being heated and shaped by the heating wire 47, it is exposed from the shaping groove 43 on the shaping block 41 near the side of the conveying mechanism 2 and is pulled and conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2. When it is necessary to change the curvature of the shaping groove 43, the electromagnet 32 ​​is first de-energized, and then the shaping block 41 is pulled out and replaced with a new shaping block 41, which greatly saves the installation and disassembly time and improves efficiency.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
