AI Technical Summary
Existing cotton drying devices, when a large amount of cotton is put in, can only shake the surface of the cotton when the rotating disc is driven to turn, and cannot completely turn up the cotton at the bottom, resulting in uneven drying and making it difficult to remove the cotton.
A cotton processing and drying device was designed, which adopts a turning mechanism including a servo motor, a rotating rod, a shovel, and a drying lamp. The electric slide and the servo motor are coordinated by a PLC controller to achieve slow turning and uniform heating of the cotton, and the cotton is discharged quickly using an electromagnetic chuck.
It achieves uniform drying and convenient discharge of cotton, ensuring that the cotton at the bottom can also be thoroughly turned over, resulting in uniform drying and a simple discharge process.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton processing technology, specifically a cotton processing and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] A cotton drying device is a piece of equipment used to dry cotton. Its main function is to remove moisture from the cotton by heating and ventilation to ensure the quality and storage stability of the cotton. With the continuous development of cotton processing, various drying devices have emerged, such as a cotton processing drying device.
[0003] A search revealed a cotton processing and drying device in Chinese Utility Model Patent CN202122900676.4. The device includes a base plate, with a support column connected to one end. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the support column, and a turntable is connected to the rotating rod. A bellows is connected to the turntable, and a fan is installed inside the bellows. A storage basin is connected to the upper end of the bellows, and the bottom of the storage basin has an opening. A drying lamp is connected to the opening via a connecting rod. The fan's outlet faces the drying lamp. A partition is installed inside the storage basin, maintaining a gap between the partition and the bottom of the basin. Multiple external ventilation holes are formed on the partition, with the diameter of the ventilation holes smaller than the size of the cotton. The other end of the base plate is equipped with a mechanism to drive the turntable to rotate. The device uses drying lamps to bake the cotton, while a fan blows hot air onto the drying lamps. The hot air is also blown onto the cotton through ventilation holes in the partition. The combined effect of the drying lamps and the fan improves the drying efficiency and effect. Although the device can bake the cotton with drying lamps and shake the cotton by driving a turntable, when a large amount of cotton is put in, driving the turntable can only shake the surface of the cotton and cannot completely turn the cotton over. The heat cannot penetrate the top layer, resulting in uneven drying and making it difficult to remove the cotton. Therefore, a cotton processing and drying device that can slowly turn the cotton in the arc-shaped cavity can completely turn over the bottom layer of cotton, resulting in uniform drying and easy discharge. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cotton processing and drying device that can slowly turn the cotton in the arc-shaped cavity, ensuring that the bottom layer of cotton is completely turned up, resulting in uniform drying and easy discharge. This solves the problem in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN202122900676.4 that, after a large amount of cotton is put in, driving the turntable to rotate only shakes the surface of the cotton, failing to completely turn it up, making it difficult for heat to penetrate the top layer, leading to uneven drying, and making cotton removal cumbersome.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of slowly turning the cotton in the arc-shaped cavity, so that the bottom layer of cotton can be completely turned up, the cotton is dried evenly, and the discharge is easy, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cotton processing and drying device, including a base, an arc-shaped box fixedly installed on the top of the base, a collection box provided on the top of the base, and a turning mechanism provided inside the arc-shaped box;
[0006] The flipping mechanism includes a side plate, a servo motor, a rotating rod, a connecting rod, a shovel plate, a movable plate, a mounting plate, and a drying lamp. The side plate is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped box, and the servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the base. A rotating rod is provided at the output end of the servo motor. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod. A shovel plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod. A movable plate is hinged to the outside of the arc-shaped box. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and a drying lamp is provided on the outside of the mounting plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting plate is equipped with an electric slide, which is fixedly connected to the drying lamp. The electric slide facilitates the electric control of the drying lamp's height.
[0008] Furthermore, the drying lamp is provided with a protective cover, which is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped protective cover helps to heat the cotton evenly.
[0009] Furthermore, an electromagnetic chuck is fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped box, and a permanent magnet adapted to the electromagnetic chuck is provided on the outside of the movable plate. The electromagnetic chuck facilitates the quick fixing and quick opening of the movable plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the number of shovels is three, and the outer surfaces of the three shovels are provided with arc-shaped grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, a PLC controller is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to the servo motor, drying lamp, electric slide table and electromagnetic chuck via wires.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This cotton processing and drying device, through the setting of a turning mechanism, when the cotton needs to be processed and dried, the electric slide table is adjusted by activating the PLC controller to raise the height of the drying lamp, and the cotton is placed into the arc-shaped box. Then, the servo motor is controlled to slowly rotate, and three shovels continuously turn the cotton at the bottom to the top, where it is dried by the drying lamp. The drying intensity is controlled by adjusting the drying lamp. After drying is completed, the electromagnetic chuck is turned off, the movable plate is opened, and as the cotton is turned, all the cotton falls into the collection box for collection. This turning mechanism can slowly turn the cotton in the arc-shaped cavity, so that the bottom cotton can be thoroughly turned up, the cotton is dried evenly, and the discharge is easy.
