Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a continuous cotton feeding device for a cotton opener. Background Technology
[0002] The primary function of a cotton opener is to loosen and remove impurities from raw materials. The processes of loosening and removing impurities from raw cotton are complementary. While loosening the raw cotton into small bundles, the fibers are separated from the impurities.
[0003] In the cotton processing industry, the cotton opener is an important piece of equipment for the initial processing of cotton. Existing cotton openers often suffer from discontinuous cotton feeding during the feeding process, leading to low operating efficiency. At the same time, traditional cotton feeding devices are prone to cotton jamming, affecting normal production, reducing the quality and efficiency of cotton processing, and increasing production costs. Therefore, we propose a continuous cotton feeding device for the cotton opener to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous cotton feeding device for a cotton opener. The cotton can be continuously fed by the rotation of the conveyor belt and the pressing belt. At the same time, the cotton can be pushed in the direction of the pressing belt by the reciprocating movement of the pusher plate, so as to avoid cotton jamming.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a continuous cotton feeding device for a cotton opener, comprising a guide shell installed on the cotton opener, a conveying mechanism for conveying cotton provided inside the guide shell, an upper shell fixedly installed on the top of the guide shell, a pressing mechanism for cotton provided inside the upper shell, the conveying mechanism comprising a rotating shaft, a rotating roller and a conveyor belt, two rotating shafts rotatably installed on the front and rear inner walls of the guide shell, rotating rollers fixedly installed on the rotating shafts, the same conveyor belt being driven and sleeved on the two rotating rollers, a pusher plate provided inside the guide shell, and the pusher plate being located above the conveyor belt, the pressing mechanism comprising a rotating shaft, a rotating roller and a pressing belt, two rotating shafts rotatably installed on the front and rear inner walls of the upper shell, rotating rollers fixedly installed on the rotating shafts, a pressing belt being driven and sleeved on the two rotating rollers, and multiple insert rods fixedly installed at equal intervals on the pressing belt.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, cotton can be continuously conveyed by the rotation of the conveyor belt and the pressing belt. At the same time, the reciprocating movement of the pusher plate can push the cotton in the direction of the pressing belt, thus avoiding cotton jamming.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that a guiding mechanism is provided between the pusher plate and the guide shell, and a reset component for resetting the pusher plate is provided on the guiding mechanism. The guiding mechanism includes a guide hole and a T-shaped rod. The guide hole is opened on one side inner wall of the guide shell, and a T-shaped rod is slidably installed in the guide hole and fixedly installed on the corresponding pusher plate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting guide holes and T-shaped rods, the pusher plate can be guided, so that the pusher plate can move stably in the horizontal direction.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the reset assembly includes a reset spring, a plurality of reset springs are fixedly installed on one side of the guide shell, and one end of the reset spring is fixedly installed on a T-shaped rod.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a reset spring, the reset spring can push the T-shaped rod and the pusher plate to reset.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that: L-shaped rods are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the pusher plate, and a pushing mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft and the corresponding L-shaped rod. The pushing mechanism includes a cam and a drive rod. The front and rear ends of the rotating shaft extend to the outside of the guide shell and are fixedly installed with cams. A drive rod is fixedly installed on the L-shaped rod, and the cam and the drive rod are adapted to each other.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cam rotates continuously, the pusher plate can reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the pusher plate facilitates pushing the cotton in the direction of the pressing belt, thus avoiding cotton jamming.
[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a mounting base is fixedly installed on the rear side of the upper housing, a driving mechanism is provided on the mounting base, and a linkage mechanism is provided between the driving mechanism and the rotating shaft and the pivot shaft. The driving mechanism includes a driving motor and a driving shaft. The driving motor is fixedly installed on the mounting base, and the driving shaft is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the driving motor.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and by setting up a drive mechanism and a linkage mechanism, it is possible to provide driving force for the rotation of the conveyor belt and the pressing belt.
[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the linkage mechanism includes a driving bevel gear and a driven bevel gear. Two driving bevel gears are fixedly mounted on the driving shaft, and driven bevel gears are fixedly mounted at the rear ends of both the rotating shaft and the rotary shaft. The driven bevel gears mesh with the corresponding driving bevel gears, and both driven bevel gears are located between the two driving bevel gears. A guide seat is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the guide shell, and the bottom end of the driving shaft is rotatably mounted on the guide seat.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear, the rotation of the driving bevel gear can be driven by the driven bevel gear to rotate the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft, and the rotation direction of the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) When cotton is placed into the feed box, the drive motor is started. The drive motor can drive the drive shaft and drive bevel gear to rotate. The drive bevel gear can drive the rotating shaft and rotating shaft to rotate through the driven bevel gear. The rotation direction of the rotating shaft and rotating shaft is such that the rotating shaft drives the conveyor belt to rotate through the rotating roller, and the rotating shaft drives the pressing belt to rotate through the rotating roller. The rotation of the conveyor belt and pressing belt can transport the cotton to the cotton opener, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous cotton feeding to the cotton opener.
[0019] (2) When the rotating shaft rotates, the rotating shaft can drive the cam to rotate. The rotation of the cam can squeeze the drive rod to the right. The drive rod can drive the push plate to move to the right through the L-shaped rod. The push plate can drive the T-shaped rod to move and compress the return spring. When the cam rotates one revolution, the return spring can push the T-shaped rod and the push plate to return to the original position. When the cam rotates at the end, the push plate can move back and forth. The back and forth movement of the push plate makes it easy to push the cotton towards the direction of the pressing belt, avoiding the situation of cotton jamming. Attached Figure Description
