[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cotton feeding structure for a carding machine includes a conveying box 2. The front end of the conveying box 2 is open and connected to the inlet of the carding machine. It also includes a conveying mechanism 3 and an adjusting mechanism 4 connected in the conveying box 2. The conveying mechanism 3 is used to convey cotton to the inlet of the carding machine, and the adjusting mechanism 4 is used to adjust the width of the conveying space in the conveying box 2.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes a first motor 401 and baffles 405. The first motor 401 is fixed to the upper end of the conveyor box 2. The two baffles 405 are parallel and spaced apart and vertically arranged inside the conveyor box 2. The first motor 401 drives the two baffles 405 to move towards each other in the conveyor box 2 to adjust the width of the conveying space. The output end of the lower end of the first motor 401 is fixed to a first bevel gear 402. The first bevel gear 402 is meshed with two symmetrical second bevel gears 403 on both sides. The second bevel gears 403 are fixed to screws 404. The upper ends of the two baffles 405 are fixed to sliding plates 406. The two sliding plates 406 are respectively threaded to the two screws 404. Driven by the motor, under the linkage of the first bevel gear 402 and the two second bevel gears 403, the two baffles 405 slide towards each other in the conveyor box 2 to adjust their distance, thereby adjusting the width of the conveying space.

[0027] like Figure 4-6As shown, the conveyor box 2 is provided with a toothed groove 205. The first bevel gear 402 and the second bevel gear 403 are both rotatably disposed in the toothed groove 205. The upper end of the inner wall of the conveyor box 2 is provided with sliding grooves 206 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the toothed groove 205. The two screws 404 are respectively horizontally rotatably connected to the two sliding grooves 206. The two sliding plates 406 are slidably engaged in the two sliding grooves 206. The upper end of the inner wall of the conveyor box 2 is provided with two symmetrically distributed limiting grooves 207. Horizontally distributed limiting rods 408 are fixed in the limiting grooves 207. The upper end of the baffle 405 is fixed with a limiting plate 407. The two limiting plates 407 are respectively slidably engaged in the two limiting grooves 207 and slidably connected to the limiting rods 408. The sliding of the sliding plate 406 in the sliding groove 206 and the sliding of the limiting plate 407 on the limiting rod 408 in the limiting groove 207 improve the stability of the baffle 405 in the conveyor plate.

[0028] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt 305, a drive roller 302, and a driven roller 303. Both ends of the drive roller 302 and the driven roller 303 are fixedly connected to connecting shafts 304, and the rollers are rotatably mounted inside the conveyor box 2 via these connecting shafts 304. The conveyor belt 305 is inclinedly positioned inside the conveyor box 2 and sleeved on the drive roller 302 and the driven roller 303. The lower end of the baffle 405 is inclinedly positioned and abuts against the upper end of the conveyor belt 305. A second motor 301 is fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor box 2. The connecting shaft 304 at one end of the drive roller 302 rotates through the conveyor box 2 and is then fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 301. A first connecting bar 202 and a second connecting bar 203 are fixedly connected inside the conveyor box 2. 03. The upper end of the first connecting strip 202 is inclined and its rear side is slidably attached to one end of the conveyor belt 305. The upper end of the second connecting strip 203 is inclined and its front side is slidably attached to the other end of the conveyor belt 305. The arrangement of the first connecting strip 202 and the second connecting strip 203 prevents the cotton material from adhering to the conveyor belt 305 and rotating with it. An inclined support plate 204 is fixed in the conveyor box 2. The support plate 204 is attached to the upper end of the inner wall of the conveyor belt 305, thereby preventing the lower end of the baffle 405 from touching the conveyor belt 305 and causing the conveyor belt 305 to dent. The inclined conveyor belt 305 is rotated by the drive of the second motor 301, thereby conveying the cotton material to the carding machine.

[0029] The upper end of the conveying box 2 is fixedly connected to the feed hopper 201, which is connected to it. The upper end of the baffle 405 is fixedly connected to the extension plate 409, which is slidably fitted in the feed hopper 201.

[0030] In use, this invention utilizes the output of a first motor 401 to drive a first bevel gear 402 to rotate, which in turn drives two symmetrical second bevel gears 403 to rotate. This, in turn, drives two screws 404 with the same pitch but opposite directions to rotate. Consequently, two sliding plates 406 slide towards each other within two sliding grooves 206, which in turn causes two baffles 405 to move towards each other within the conveyor box 2, adjusting the width of the conveying space in the conveyor box 2. When the baffles 405 move, their upper limiting plates 407 slide on limiting rods 408 within the limiting grooves 207. To improve the stability of the movement of the baffle 405, after adjusting the distance between the two baffles 405, the cotton material is fed in between the two extension plates 409 in the feed hopper 201. Then, the cotton material falls onto the conveyor belt 305 between the two baffles 405. The cotton material slides down the inclined conveyor belt 305 into the carding machine feed inlet. At the same time, the output end of the second motor 301 drives the active drive roller 302 to rotate through the connecting shaft 304, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 305 to rotate. Simultaneously, the driven drive roller 303 rotates accordingly. The rotation of the conveyor belt 305 promotes the movement of the cotton material into the carding machine feed inlet.

[0031] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
