Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cocoon delivery system. Background Technology

[0002] Silkworm cocoons are usually stored in large warehouses. During silk reeling, the cocoons need to be transported from the warehouses to the reeling machines. This is usually done manually using transport carts. When the number of cocoons in the reeling machine is low, it is often necessary to manually replenish the cocoons in real time. This requires workers to constantly monitor the operation of the reeling machine, which increases the input of labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology and to provide a cocoon feeding system with a reasonable structural design.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: The cocoon feeding system is characterized by the following structure: it includes a driving mechanism, a supporting mechanism, and a loading mechanism. The loading mechanism is connected to the supporting mechanism, and the supporting mechanism is connected to the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a driving frame, a driving wheel, a driving motor, and a driving rail. The driving wheel and the driving motor are both mounted on the driving frame, and the driving wheel is driven by the driving motor. The driving wheel and the driving rail are in sliding cooperation. The supporting mechanism is mounted on the driving frame.

[0005] Furthermore, a drive sleeve is provided on the drive frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a support frame, a support rod, a telescopic spring, a support wheel, a limiting wheel, and a support track. The support rod is fixed to the support frame and is located inside the drive sleeve. The telescopic spring is fitted outside the support rod, and both ends of the telescopic spring abut against the drive sleeve and the support frame, respectively. The support wheel and the limiting wheel are both mounted on the support frame, and both the support wheel and the limiting wheel slide in cooperation with the support track.

[0007] Furthermore, the support wheel and the limiting wheel are located on both sides of the support track.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive wheel is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor via a belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the loading mechanism includes a loading bin, a bin bottom plate, and a discharge cylinder. The loading bin is mounted on a support frame, and the bin bottom plate is mounted at the discharge port of the loading bin, and the bin bottom plate is driven by the discharge cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of drive wheels is four sets, one of which is connected to the drive motor.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive track is arranged in a C-shaped structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the support track is configured in an I-shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the support rod is fixed to the drive sleeve by a nut.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the cocoon feeding system can replace the manual replenishment of silkworm cocoons. When the specific location in the silk reeling machine that needs to be replenished with silkworm cocoons is indicated by a sensor feedback signal, the cocoon feeding system can realize the automatic replenishment of silkworm cocoons, reduce the input of labor costs, and improve work efficiency.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0023] Example

[0024] See Figures 1 to 3As shown in the accompanying drawings, the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to provide a clear understanding. They are not intended to limit the scope of this invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" in this specification is solely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0025] The cocoon feeding system in this embodiment includes a drive mechanism 1, a support mechanism 2, and a loading mechanism 3. The loading mechanism 3 is connected to the support mechanism 2, and the support mechanism 2 is connected to the drive mechanism 1. The drive mechanism 1 includes a drive frame 11, a drive wheel 12, a drive motor 13, and a drive track 14. The drive track 14 is arranged in a C-shape.

[0026] In this embodiment, both the drive wheel 12 and the drive motor 13 are mounted on the drive frame 11, and the drive wheel 12 is driven by the drive motor 13. The drive wheel 12 is slidably engaged with the drive rail 14. The support mechanism 2 is mounted on the drive frame 11, and the drive frame 11 is provided with a drive sleeve 15. There are four sets of drive wheels 12, one set of which is connected to the drive motor 13. The drive wheel 12 is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 13 via a belt.

[0027] The support mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a support frame 21, a support rod 22, a telescopic spring 23, a support wheel 24, a limiting wheel 25, and a support track 26. The support rod 22 is fixed to the support frame 21 and is located inside the drive sleeve 15. The support rod 22 is fixed to the drive sleeve 15 by a nut.

[0028] In this embodiment, the telescopic spring 23 is fitted outside the support rod 22, and the two ends of the telescopic spring 23 abut against the drive sleeve 15 and the support frame 21 respectively. The support wheel 24 and the limiting wheel 25 are both installed on the support frame 21, and the support wheel 24 and the limiting wheel 25 are both slidably engaged with the support rail 26. The support wheel 24 and the limiting wheel 25 are located on both sides of the support rail 26, and the support rail 26 is set in an I-shaped structure.

[0029] The loading mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a loading bin 31, a bin bottom plate 32, and a discharge cylinder 33. The loading bin 31 is mounted on the support frame 21, and the bin bottom plate 32 is mounted at the discharge port of the loading bin 31. The bin bottom plate 32 is driven by the discharge cylinder 33.

[0030] Specifically, when the cocoon feeding system is in operation, the cocoons can be placed in the loading chamber 31. The drive motor 13 drives the drive wheel 12 to rotate, and the drive wheel 12 drags the drive frame 11 to move along the drive rail 14. In turn, the drive frame 11 drives the support frame 21 to move along the support rail 26. When the loading chamber 31 moves to the unloading position, the unloading cylinder 33 drives the bottom plate 32 of the chamber to open and unload the cocoons in the loading chamber 31. By installing a telescopic spring 23 on the outside of the support rod 22, the support wheel 24 and the support rail 26 can always be kept in contact to reduce the friction between the support frame 21 and the support rail 26.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model are included within the protection scope of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined by the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
