Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wool processing, specifically to an opening device for wool processing. Background Technology
[0002] Wool, as a high-quality natural fiber, is widely used in textiles, clothing, and many other fields. In wool processing, opening is a crucial step, its main purpose being to break down and loosen tightly tangled wool fiber clumps. This significantly improves the combing, spinning, and other subsequent processing properties of wool fibers, thereby enhancing the quality of the final wool products.
[0003] However, some traditional opening equipment relies solely on a single crushing roller, which is insufficient to adequately tear and open wool fiber clumps, resulting in a significant number of tangled fiber clumps remaining after opening. While some devices have multiple rollers, the coordination between them is not sufficiently rational and precise, leaving some misalignment. This leads to uneven stress on the wool fibers during opening, and some fibers may even be damaged due to over-opening, reducing their length and strength, thus affecting subsequent processing and product quality.
[0004] In conclusion, existing wool opening equipment is no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern wool processing production. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of wool opening device that can improve upon these problems, achieve efficient, precise, and stable wool opening operations, enhance opening results and production efficiency, reduce production costs, and simultaneously improve the quality of wool products. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a wool opening device that tears wool by meshing crushing rollers, avoiding problems such as uneven stress on wool fibers during the opening process caused by improper and inaccurate matching between rollers, and some wool fibers may be damaged due to excessive opening.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a wool opening device, including a material box, inside which is an opening mechanism for processing wool. The opening mechanism includes an infeed component and an opening component. The infeed component is used to feed wool into the material box, and the opening component is located below the infeed component to open the wool. The infeed component includes an infeed inclined plate symmetrically installed on the top of the material box, and an infeed rotating shaft symmetrically arranged above the infeed inclined plate. Several infeed guide rods are distributed on the infeed rotating shaft. A fixed horizontal plate is connected to the outside of the material box, and two drive motors are firmly installed on the fixed horizontal plate. The two drive motors are used to drive the two infeed rotating shafts respectively. That is, under the drive of the drive motors, the infeed inclined plate and the infeed rotating shaft with infeed guide rods of the infeed component can feed wool into the material box in an organized and efficient manner, preparing materials for subsequent opening operations and ensuring a stable and orderly feeding process.
[0007] The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the side plate of the material box and is connected to the feed shaft via a coupling. This coupling ensures the reliability of the connection between the drive motor and the feed shaft, as well as the stability of the transmission. It effectively transmits the power of the drive motor, enabling the feed shaft to rotate normally, which in turn drives the feed guide rod to complete the wool feeding operation, reducing power loss and the possibility of malfunctions during power transmission.
[0008] The opening assembly includes two drive shafts and one rotating shaft. The two drive shafts are symmetrically and rotatably arranged inside the material bin, while the rotating shaft is located inside the material bin and below the two drive shafts. One end of both the drive shafts and the rotating shaft penetrates the side panel of the material bin and connects to a drive component mounted on the outside of the material bin via a fixing plate. In other words, through the two symmetrical and rotatable drive shafts and the rotating shaft below them, in conjunction with the external drive component, wool can be processed at different levels and in different directions, providing multiple modes of operation for subsequent opening and processing, thus helping to improve the opening effect.
[0009] Each drive shaft is equipped with a shredding roller, which is used to tear the wool fibers. The two shredding rollers mesh with each other. That is, the meshing shredding rollers rotate under the drive shaft, effectively tearing the wool entering the material box. This tearing action can initially disperse the originally tightly wrapped wool fibers, breaking the entanglement between the wool fibers, and laying a good foundation for subsequent opening and refining processes.
[0010] An electrostatic roller is fitted onto the rotating shaft to attract and absorb wool. Specifically, the electrostatic roller uses electrostatic adsorption to attract the wool that has been torn by the crushing roller during rotation. This function helps collect and further process the opened wool, preventing it from scattering throughout the material bin and ensuring the orderliness of subsequent processing. It also facilitates centralized processing of the wool.
[0011] The drive system includes a slow-speed motor, a drive gear, and driven gears. The slow-speed motor is mounted on a fixed plate, the drive gear is mounted on a rotating shaft, and the driven gears are mounted on each drive shaft. Two driven gears mesh with each other, and one of the driven gears meshes with the drive gear. That is, the transmission system consisting of the slow-speed motor, drive gear, and driven gears enables effective control of the movement of the drive shaft and rotating shaft. The slow-speed motor provides stable power, and the meshing transmission between the gears ensures that each shaft rotates according to design requirements while also matching different speeds and torques, allowing the crushing roller and electrostatic roller to work in coordination and improving the overall efficiency of wool opening operations.
[0012] A scraper is connected to one side of the electrostatic roller, and a conveyor belt assembly is located below the scraper. The conveyor belt assembly is used to export the wool after opening. The conveyor belt assembly is driven by a drive motor located behind the material box. That is, the scraper can scrape off the opened wool adsorbed on the electrostatic roller and make it fall onto the conveyor belt assembly below. Driven by the drive motor, the conveyor belt assembly can export the opened wool in a timely and efficient manner, realizing the automation of the wool opening operation and improving the continuity and production efficiency of the entire wool processing process.
[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] 1. The feeding assembly facilitates efficient wool transport. Through the feeding ramp and the feeding shaft with feeding guide rods, driven by the motor, the wool is fed into the material bin in a favorable manner, avoiding blockages caused by poor feeding and ensuring smooth operation of the entire opening device. The feeding guide rods, distributed on the feeding shaft, can comb the wool to a certain extent, making the subsequent opening process smoother.
[0015] 2. Two interlocking crushing rollers can initially tear and loosen the wool, increasing its dispersion. An electrostatic roller mounted on the lower rotating shaft further attracts the wool fibers, performing a secondary treatment on the initially torn and dispersed wool. This results in a more ideal opening effect, meeting higher standards for wool processing.
[0016] 3. The scraper connected to one side of the electrostatic roller works seamlessly with the conveyor belt assembly. The scraper can promptly scrape off the opened wool adsorbed on the electrostatic roller. The scraped wool falls directly onto the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt assembly driven by the drive motor promptly guides it out. This ensures that the opened wool can quickly leave the opening device, preventing the accumulation of opened wool from affecting the normal operation of the opening device and improving the efficiency of the entire wool processing process.
[0017] 4. The coordination of the slow-speed motor, drive gear, and driven gear creates a precise linkage between the rotating shaft and the two drive shafts. This design reduces the need for additional power sources, simplifies the device structure, and lowers energy consumption and costs. Simultaneously, the gear transmission offers high stability, ensuring that the crushing roller and electrostatic roller operate at preset speeds and in the designated manner, guaranteeing the stability and consistency of the opening process.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, 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 are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown: This embodiment provides a wool opening device, including a material box 10. The material box 10 contains an opening mechanism 20 for processing wool. The opening mechanism 20 includes an infeed assembly 21 and an opening assembly 22. The infeed assembly 21 feeds wool into the material box 10, and the opening assembly 22 is located below the infeed assembly 21 and is used to open the wool. The infeed assembly 21 includes symmetrically installed infeed inclined plates 211 on the top of the material box 10, which guide the wool into the material box 10. A symmetrically arranged infeed rotating shaft 212 is also present above it, and several infeed guide rods 213 are distributed and installed on the infeed rotating shaft 212. A fixed horizontal plate 214 is then connected to the outside of the material box 10, and two drive motors 215 are securely installed on the fixed horizontal plate 214, establishing a driving relationship between the drive motors 215 and the infeed rotating shaft 212. During the wool processing, the drive motor 215 is turned on, the feed shaft 212 starts to rotate, which drives the feed guide rod 213 to rotate, and the wool is conveyed into the material box 10 through the feed inclined plate 211.
[0026] The design of the feed shaft 212 and the feed guide rod 213 allows wool to enter the material box 10 more orderly and efficiently, avoiding wool accumulation that could affect subsequent processing.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown: Based on the above-mentioned device, the output shaft of the drive motor 215 passes through the side plate of the material box 10 and is securely connected to the feed shaft 212 via a coupling. In this way, when the drive motor 215 is turned on, the rotation of the output shaft can be directly transmitted to the feed shaft 212, causing the feed shaft 212 to rotate, thereby causing the feed guide rod 213 to start operating and conveying wool.
[0028] The use of a coupling ensures more stable power transmission between the drive motor 215 and the feed shaft 212, reducing losses and deviations during power transmission and making the feeding process smoother and more reliable. The coupling is easy to disassemble and install, facilitating repair or replacement when the feed shaft 212 or drive motor 215 malfunctions, thus reducing equipment maintenance costs and complexity.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown: Two drive shafts 221 are symmetrically and rotatably installed inside the material box 10, and a rotating shaft 222 is installed below the two drive shafts 221. Then, one end of each drive shaft 221 and rotating shaft 222 penetrates the side plate of the material box 10, and a drive component 23 is installed on the outside of the material box 10 via a fixing plate 225, connecting the drive component 23 with the drive shafts 221 and rotating shaft 222 to establish a driving relationship. During actual processing, the drive component 23 is activated, causing the drive shafts 221 and rotating shaft 222 to rotate.
[0030] The combination of drive shaft 221 and rotating shaft 222 forms a multi-stage opening process, enabling more detailed and thorough opening of wool. Shafts in different positions and with different modes of motion can act on the wool from different angles, improving the opening effect. By rationally distributing the positions of drive shaft 221 and rotating shaft 222 within the material box 10, the device can better adapt to different wool processing needs and equipment space limitations, increasing its applicability and flexibility.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown: Based on the above, a crushing roller 223 is mounted on each drive shaft 221, and the two crushing rollers 223 are ensured to mesh with each other. When the drive shaft 221 is driven to rotate by the drive component 23, the meshing crushing rollers 223 rotate accordingly, tearing the wool as it passes by, and loosening the wool clumps into a more loose state.
[0032] The meshing of the two crushing rollers 223 generates shearing and tearing forces on the wool during rotation, which can quickly and effectively break the adhesion between wool fibers, loosen the tight wool clumps, improve the efficiency and quality of loosening, and reduce damage to the wool fibers themselves during the loosening process by rationally designing the structure and material of the crushing rollers 223, thus ensuring the original properties and quality of the wool.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown: An electrostatic roller 224 is mounted on a rotating shaft 222, and the electrostatic roller 224 rotates under the drive of the rotating shaft 222. When the wool that has been loosened by the crushing roller 223 falls to the vicinity of the electrostatic roller 224, the electrostatic roller 224 uses its generated electrostatic adsorption to adsorb the loosened wool onto its surface, thereby achieving further processing and collection of the wool.
[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown: Install the various parts of the drive unit 23. A slow-speed motor 231 is mounted on the fixed plate 225, a drive gear 232 is mounted on the rotating shaft 222, and a driven gear 233 is mounted on each drive shaft 221, allowing two driven gears 233 to mesh with each other. One of the driven gears 233 also meshes with the drive gear 232. Start the slow-speed motor 231; the motor outputs power, which, through gear transmission, drives the rotating shaft 222 and the drive shaft 221 to rotate.
[0035] The gear transmission enables synchronous rotation of the rotating shaft 222 and the drive shaft 221, ensuring coordinated movement between the shafts and making the overall operation of the opening assembly 22 more stable and efficient. The slow-speed motor 231 can flexibly adjust the drive speed according to different wool processing needs, meeting diverse wool opening process requirements. Furthermore, the gear ratio can be adjusted according to the design, further increasing the flexibility of speed control.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown: A scraper 234 is installed on one side of the electrostatic roller 224, and a conveyor belt assembly 24 is arranged below the scraper 234, which is driven by a drive motor 25 located at the rear of the material box 10. When the electrostatic roller 224, which has attracted lint, rotates to the position of the scraper 234, the scraper 234 scrapes the lint off the surface of the electrostatic roller 224 and it falls onto the conveyor belt assembly 24 below. The drive motor 25 drives the conveyor belt assembly 24 to rotate, thus removing the wool after the opening process.
[0037] The cooperation between the conveyor belt assembly 24 and the scraper 234 enables the automatic discharge of wool after opening, reducing manual intervention and improving processing efficiency and the degree of automation of the production line.
[0038] Preventing lint residue: The scraper 234 can promptly clean the lint adsorbed on the surface of the electrostatic roller 224, preventing excessive lint accumulation on the electrostatic roller 224 from affecting the adsorption effect and subsequent processing, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire opening process.
[0039] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Turn on the two drive motors 215 on the fixed horizontal plate 214. The output shaft of the drive motor 215 drives the feed shaft 212 to rotate via a coupling. Several feed guide rods 213 distributed on the feed shaft 212 rotate accordingly. Then, place the wool to be processed above the feed inclined plate 211. The rotating feed guide rods 213 will gradually feed the wool into the material box 10. Then, turn on the slow-speed motor 231, which drives the drive gear 232 to rotate. Since the two driven gears 233 mesh with each other, and one of the driven gears 233 meshes with the drive gear 232, the rotation of the drive gear 232 will drive the driven gear 233 to rotate, thereby causing the two drive shafts 221 and the rotating shaft 222 to start rotating. As the drive shaft 221 rotates, the crushing roller 223 mounted on the drive shaft 221 begins to work. Two interlocking crushing rollers 223 tear and loosen the wool falling from the feed assembly 21, breaking up the tightly packed wool clumps. At the same time, the electrostatic roller 224 on the rotating shaft 222 rotates. The electrostatic roller 224 can generate static electricity to attract the loosened wool. During the rotation of the electrostatic roller 224, the scraper 234 connected to one side scrapes off the wool attracted to the electrostatic roller 224 and makes it fall onto the conveyor belt assembly 24 below.
[0040] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
