Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cotton opener technology, and in particular to a single-axial flow cotton opener. Background Technology
[0002] Single-axis flow cotton openers, acting as pre-cleaning machines, are installed between automatic cotton pickers and multi-compartment blenders. They uniformly and densely beat the raw cotton fibers multiple times in a free state to remove impurities, providing a gentle opening process and avoiding fiber damage. However, current single-axis flow cotton openers in textile machinery suffer from problems with the arrangement and shape of the corner nails during the cotton bale opening process. This leads to poor opening effect of the corner nails and a tendency for them to jam with dense cotton bales, which not only easily damages the machine but also reduces opening efficiency. Furthermore, existing single-axis flow cotton openers are not good at separating impurities from cotton fibers, thus affecting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems of existing single-axis flow cotton openers, such as cotton blocks and corner nails easily getting stuck, poor opening effect of cotton blocks, and difficulty in removing impurities, this utility model provides a single-axis flow cotton opener.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A single-axis flow cotton opener includes a machine body, an opening assembly, and a cleaning assembly. The machine body has a receiving cavity formed by a dust suction hood. The opening assembly and the cleaning assembly are disposed within the receiving cavity, with the opening assembly located above the cleaning assembly. The opening assembly includes a roller and several angle nails, each angle nail arranged spirally on the surface of the roller. Several guide plates are disposed within the receiving cavity, each guide plate arranged obliquely and located outside the roller, with a gap between adjacent guide plates. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are fixed to the top of the machine body. One side of the receiving cavity communicates with the inlet pipe, and the opposite side communicates with the outlet pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the impurity removal assembly includes a pair of support plates, several dust rods, a connecting rod, an adjusting plate, and an adjusting part. Several dust rods with obtuse-angled triangular cross-sections are located between the two support plates, and the connecting rods are fixedly connected to the dust rods. Several first rotating holes are provided on the support plates, and several oblong second rotating holes are provided on the adjusting plate. The connecting rod is Z-shaped, with one side disposed within the first rotating hole and the other side disposed within the second rotating hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the adjusting plate has a third rotating hole in the shape of an elongated oval. The adjusting part includes a rotating shaft and a connecting plate. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and an eccentric shaft is fixed to the other side of the connecting plate. The eccentric shaft is disposed in the third rotating hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment plate is provided with several arc-shaped limiting holes, and limiting bolts are disposed in the limiting holes, and the limiting bolts are fixedly connected to the machine body.
[0009] Furthermore, it includes a dust removal component, which includes a mesh plate, a dust removal cover, and a dust discharge pipe. The cotton inlet pipe and the dust collection cover have openings on the same side, and each of the mesh plates is fixed in the opening. The dust removal cover is L-shaped and covers each of the mesh plates. The dust discharge pipe communicates with the dust removal cover and is fixedly connected to the top of the machine body.
[0010] Furthermore, each of the corner nails includes a horizontal section and two bent sections. The bent sections are fixed to the ends of the horizontal section.

[0013] Furthermore, the cotton outlet tube is arranged at an angle relative to the machine body.
[0014] Furthermore, a spiral channel is formed by the interval, and the channel is along the same axis as the roller.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention, through the combination of spiral channels formed by the guide plates and several spirally arranged corner nails, enables the cotton to be beaten while moving, achieving multiple tumbling and breaking down of the cotton clumps. This facilitates contact between all parts of the cotton clumps and the dust rods, effectively improving the openness and impurity removal efficiency of the cotton clumps.

[0023] This utility model discloses a single-axis flow cotton opener. The following describes one embodiment of this utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a single-axis flow cotton opener includes a machine body 1, an opening component, a dust removal component, a micro-dust removal component, and a waste discharge component. The machine body 1 has a receiving cavity formed by a dust suction hood 6. The opening component and the dust removal component are disposed within the receiving cavity, with the opening component located above the dust removal component. The opening component includes a roller 18 and several corner pins, which are arranged in a double helix pattern on the surface of the roller 18. Each corner pin includes a horizontal section and a bent section. There are two bent sections, which are fixedly connected to the two ends of the horizontal section respectively. The horizontal section is U-shaped, and the two bent sections form a V-shape, with an obtuse angle between the bent section and the horizontal section. The horizontal section is mounted on the outer wall of the roller 18 by a pressure plate. The pressure plate has a U-shaped groove adapted to the horizontal section, and the horizontal section is located within the U-shaped groove. Several guide plates 9 are disposed within the receiving cavity, and each guide plate 9 is fixed to the top of the receiving cavity and located outside the roller 18 and the corner pins. Each guide plate 9 is arranged at an angle, with gaps between adjacent guide plates 9 forming several spiral channels. Each channel is arranged along the same axis as the roller. The guide plates 9 are used to guide the cotton flow in a spiral direction along the axial direction of the roller 18 within the receiving cavity. The pressure plate is fixed to the roller 18 by bolts, spring washers, and a fixing plate, with the spring washers and fixing plate located on the inner wall of the roller 18. The top of the machine body 1 is fixed with an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3. The front left side of the receiving cavity is connected to the inlet pipe 2, and the rear right side is connected to the outlet pipe 3. The outlet pipe 3 is arranged at an angle relative to the top of the machine body 1.
[0025] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the impurity removal assembly includes a pair of support plates 11, several dust rods 10, a connecting rod 12, an adjusting plate 13, and an adjusting part. Several dust rods 10 with obtuse-angled triangular cross-sections are located between the two support plates 11. Several notches are formed at the top of the support plates 11, creating first rotating holes. The connecting rod 12 is Z-shaped, with one end fixedly connected to the end of a dust rod 10, and the other side positioned within the first rotating hole, allowing the connecting rod 12 to rotate relative to the first rotating hole. Several elongated second rotating holes 14 are formed on the adjusting plate 13, and the other side of the connecting rod 12 is positioned within each of the second rotating holes 14, allowing the connecting rod 12 to rotate relative to the second rotating holes 14. The adjusting plate 13 also has elongated third limiting holes 15 and several arc-shaped limiting holes 15. The adjusting part includes a rotating shaft and a connecting plate 17. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the connecting plate 17, and an eccentric shaft is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate 17, with the eccentric shaft positioned within the third rotating hole 16. A limiting bolt is installed in the limiting hole 15, and the limiting bolt is fixedly connected to the adjuster fixed on the machine body 1. The user drives the connecting plate 17 to rotate through the rotating shaft, and the connecting plate 17 drives the eccentric shaft to rotate. The eccentric shaft moves along the third rotating hole 16, thereby driving the adjusting plate 13 to move. The adjusting plate 13 drives the dust rods 10 to rotate through the connecting rod 12 via the second rotating holes 14, thereby adjusting the angle of the dust rods 10. The limiting bolt and the limiting hole 15 cooperate to ensure that the adjusting plate 13 moves regularly in the preset direction, and the limiting bolt and the adjuster cooperate to clamp the adjusting plate 13 to prevent the adjusting plate 13 from moving randomly.
[0026] The dust removal device assembly includes mesh plates, a dust removal cover 7, and a dust discharge pipe 4. Openings are provided on the outer wall of both the cotton inlet pipe 2 and the outer wall of the dust collection cover 6, and the openings on the cotton inlet pipe 2 and the dust collection cover 6 are interconnected, forming an L-shape. Several mesh plates are fixed inside the openings of the cotton inlet pipe 2 and the dust collection cover 6. The dust removal cover 7 is L-shaped and fits over each mesh plate. The dust discharge pipe 4 is connected to the top of the dust removal cover 7 on the side away from the cotton inlet pipe 2 and is fixedly connected to the top of the machine body 1.
[0027] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the waste removal assembly includes a collection hopper 8 and a waste removal pipe 5. The collection hopper 8 is located at the bottom of the receiving cavity. One end of the waste removal pipe 5 is connected to the lowest point of the collection hopper 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the body 1. The waste removal pipe 5 has a negative pressure generated by a fan.
[0028] In use, this invention is installed in the pneumatic cotton conveying system of the cotton cleaning workshop, preferably between the automatic cotton grabber or cotton opener and the multi-compartment cotton blender. To facilitate the smooth transfer and passage of raw cotton, a fan is connected to the cotton outlet pipe 3. Cotton blocks enter one end of the receiving cavity through the cotton inlet pipe 2. The roller 18 is driven by a motor to rotate. After rotating, the roller 18 uses the corner pins to grab the cotton blocks, and the roller 18 rotates downwards relative to the cotton inlet pipe 2. After the cotton blocks come into contact with the dust bars 10, they are thrown to the top of the dust collection hood 6. Then, each cotton block falls onto the roller 18 and re-contacts the corner pins, and with the movement of the corner pins, it re-contacts the dust bars 10 for impurity removal. As the cotton blocks rotate with the roller 18, they are flipped, ensuring that all surfaces of the cotton blocks come into contact with the dust bars 10, effectively improving the impurity removal effect. The cotton block, guided by the spring of the corner nails, the spiral guide plate 9, and the suction of the output airflow, is simultaneously moved and beaten, causing it to come into contact with the dust bar 10 multiple times. This results in repeated tumbling and breaking down of the cotton block, gradually improving its looseness and impurity removal efficiency. As the cotton block rotates with the roller 18 and corner nails, the fine dust and short fibers in the cotton block are carried by the airflow generated by the rotation of the roller 18 through the mesh plate into the fine dust removal cover 7, and then through the dust discharge pipe 4 into other equipment, which is the dust filter chamber. After being removed by the dust bar 10, the impurities in the cotton block fall into the collection hopper 8, where they are collected. The impurity discharge pipe 5 is connected to the collection hopper 8 and discharges the impurities from the collection hopper 8 under negative pressure.
[0029] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
