Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic seed cotton feeding machines, and in particular to an automatic seed cotton feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic seed cotton feeders are key automated equipment in cotton processing production lines. They are mainly used to uniformly and continuously transport seed cotton to subsequent processing stages. Their core function is to replace the traditional manual cotton feeding method. Through mechanical structures such as conveyor belts and cotton-dispensing rollers, they realize the automatic feeding, loosening, and quantitative supply of seed cotton, avoiding problems such as uneven feeding, low efficiency, and high labor intensity caused by manual operation. They are an important piece of equipment for modern cotton enterprises to improve production efficiency.

[0003] In terms of loosening seed cotton, traditional automatic seed cotton feeders lack loosening components or rely on manual loosening, making it difficult to fully loosen the seed cotton. In addition, during the seed cotton conveying process, the conveying device used to convey the seed cotton lacks effective fixation after reaching the designated position. During the feeding process, it may shift due to equipment contact or its own vibration. This not only leads to low seed cotton conveying efficiency, but may also cause problems such as seed cotton spillage and conveying position deviation, further affecting the continuity and stability of the feeding process.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic seed cotton feeding machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic seed cotton feeding machine.

[0006] The automatic seed cotton feeding machine provided by this utility model includes: a base, a conveyor belt installed on the top of the base, a guide plate fixedly connected to the top of the base, a feeding seat for conveying seed cotton installed on one side of the base, a fixed rod symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the feeding seat near the base, a cotton loosening plate for loosening seed cotton installed on the top of the base, oblique teeth fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the cotton loosening plate, a limiting component for restricting the movement of the fixed rod installed inside the base, and a driving component for driving the cotton loosening plate to reciprocate on the outer wall of the guide plate.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes: a limiting block, a sliding column, a spring, and a gripping cap. The limiting block is slidably connected inside the base. One end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to the sliding column. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding column. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the base. One end of the sliding column extends out of the base and is fixedly connected to the gripping cap.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes: a drive motor, a reciprocating lead screw, a threaded block, a slide plate, a connecting rod, and guide posts. The drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate, and the reciprocating lead screw is rotatably connected to one side of the guide plate. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw. A threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating lead screw. A sliding groove is provided inside the guide plate, and a slide plate is slidably connected to the guide plate through the sliding groove. One end of the slide plate is fixedly connected to the threaded block. A connecting rod is slidably connected inside the slide plate. One end of the connecting rod extends out of the slide plate and is fixedly connected to the cotton board. A guide groove is provided inside the guide plate, and guide posts are fixedly connected to both sides of the cotton board. Both guide posts slide within their respective guide grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the guide groove has a parallelogram cross-section.

[0010] Preferably, the stroke of the chute is longer than the stroke of the guide chute in the direction of the conveyor belt's movement.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the feeding seat is fixedly connected with casters at equal intervals.

[0012] Preferably, the guide post moves at a speed greater than the conveyor belt speed within the guide groove.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the automatic seed cotton feeder provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Improve the looseness of seed cotton:

[0015] This device, by setting up a drive assembly and a cotton loosening plate, enables the cotton loosening plate to reciprocate. The oblique teeth at the bottom of the cotton loosening plate can fully contact the seed cotton. At the same time, the parallelogram design of the guide groove causes the cotton loosening plate to generate vertical displacement while reciprocating horizontally. Furthermore, the moving speed of the guide column in the guide groove is greater than the moving speed of the conveyor belt, which can pull some of the seed cotton to generate relative movement, thus achieving full loosening of the seed cotton. This avoids the accumulation of seed cotton and blockage of the processing equipment, improving the working efficiency of the cotton feeder and the processing quality of the seed cotton.

[0016] Ensure the stability of the transport device:

[0017] The limiting component in this device can effectively restrict the fixing rod of the feeding seat. When the fixing rod is inserted into the base, it squeezes the limiting block, causing the spring to contract. After the fixing rod is fully inserted, the limiting block resets under the action of the spring's rebound force, restricting the movement of the fixing rod. When it is necessary to move the feeding seat, the restriction can be released by pulling the gripping cap. This solves the problem that traditional conveying devices lack effective fixation after reaching the designated position and are prone to displacement due to contact or vibration. It ensures the stability of the feeding seat during the cotton feeding process, avoids cotton spillage and conveying position deviation, and enhances the continuity and stability of cotton feeding.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An automatic seed cotton feeding machine includes: a base 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed on the top of the base 1, a guide plate 3 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a feeding seat 4 for conveying seed cotton installed on one side of the base 1, a fixing rod 5 symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the feeding seat 4 near the base 1, a cotton loosening plate 6 for loosening seed cotton installed on the top of the base 1, oblique teeth fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the cotton loosening plate 6, a limiting component for restricting the movement of the fixing rod 5 installed inside the base 1, and a driving component for driving the cotton loosening plate 6 to reciprocate on the outer wall of the guide plate 3.

[0026] It should be noted that by using the different running speeds of the cotton loosening board 6 and the conveyor belt 2, the oblique teeth at the bottom of the cotton loosening board 6 can tear apart the seed cotton, thus achieving the cotton loosening effect.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The limiting component includes: a limiting block 21, a sliding column 22, a spring 23, and a gripping cap 24. The limiting block 21 is slidably connected inside the base 1. The sliding column 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting block 21. The spring 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding column 22. One end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 21, and the other end of the spring 23 is fixedly connected to the base 1. One end of the sliding column 22 extends out of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the gripping cap 24.

[0028] It should be noted that both the fixing rod 5 and the limiting block 21 are designed at an angle.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The drive assembly includes: a drive motor 31, a reciprocating lead screw 32, a threaded block 33, a sliding plate 34, a connecting rod 35, and a guide post 36. The drive motor 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate 3, and the reciprocating lead screw 32 is rotatably connected to the other side. The output end of the drive motor 31 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 32. A threaded block 33 is threaded onto the outer wall of the reciprocating lead screw 32. A groove 37 is provided inside the guide plate 3, and the sliding plate 34 is slidably connected to the guide plate 3 through the groove 37. One end of the sliding plate 34 is fixedly connected to the threaded block 33, and a connecting rod 35 is slidably connected inside the sliding plate 34. A connecting rod 35 extends out of the slide plate 34 and is fixedly connected to the cotton board 6. A guide groove 38 is provided inside the guide plate 3. Guide posts 36 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cotton board 6. Both guide posts 36 slide inside the corresponding guide groove 38. The cross-section of the guide groove 38 is a parallelogram design. The stroke of the slide 37 in the direction of the conveyor belt 2 is longer than the stroke of the guide groove 38. Universal wheels 61 are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the feeding seat 4. The moving speed of the guide post 36 in the guide groove 38 is greater than the moving speed of the conveyor belt 2.

[0030] It should be noted that the guide posts 36 on both sides of the cotton board 6 slide in the guide groove 38 of the guide plate 3. The cross-section of the guide groove 38 is designed as a parallelogram, so that the cotton board 6 can move back and forth in the horizontal direction and also move in the vertical direction.

[0031] The working principle of the automatic seed cotton feeder provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0032] Feeding base 4 is fixed:

[0033] First, the seed cotton is conveyed to one side of the base 1 through the feeding seat 4. Then, the machine places the seed cotton on the conveyor belt 2. Since the bottom of the feeding seat 4 is equipped with casters 61, it can move flexibly and adjust the feeding position. The feeding seat 4 is connected to the base 1 by means of the fixing rod 5, and the fixing rod 5 is restricted by the limiting component to ensure the stability of the feeding seat 4.

[0034] How the limit switch component works:

[0035] When the fixed rod 5 is inserted into the base 1, the two make oblique contact, which compresses the limiting block 21 and drives the sliding rod to move. At the same time, the spring 23 contracts. After the fixed rod 5 is fully inserted into the base 1, the fixed rod 5 no longer compresses the limiting block 21. The limiting block 21 is reset by the rebound force of the spring 23, restricting the movement of the fixed rod 5. When it is necessary to remove the feeding seat 4, the gripping cap 24 is pulled outward. The gripping cap 24 drives the sliding column 22 to move, thereby causing the limiting block 21 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 23 and exit from the limiting position of the fixed rod 5. At this time, the limiting block 21 no longer restricts the fixed rod 5, and the feeding seat 4 can move. Then, the conveyor belt 2 starts to run, driving the seed cotton to move towards the cotton loosening board 6.

[0036] Driver component operation:

[0037] The drive assembly starts working, driving the cotton loosening board 6 to reciprocate and loosen the seed cotton. The drive motor 31 starts, driving the reciprocating screw 32 to rotate. Since the reciprocating screw 32 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 33, the threaded block 33 will make linear reciprocating motion under the drive of the reciprocating screw 32. The threaded block 33 is also fixedly connected to the slide plate 34. The slide plate 34 slides in the groove 37 of the guide plate 3, thus ensuring the stability of the movement. The connecting rod 35, which is slidably connected inside the slide plate 34, transmits the linear reciprocating motion of the slide plate 34 to the cotton loosening board 6. At the same time, the guide posts on both sides of the cotton loosening board 6... The guide post 36 slides within the guide groove 38 of the guide plate 3. The cross-section of the guide groove 38 is designed as a parallelogram, which allows the cotton loosening plate 6 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction while also displacing in the vertical direction. When the guide post 36 slides within the travel of the guide groove 38 near the conveyor belt 2, the helical teeth on the cotton loosening plate 6 contact the seed cotton. The moving speed of the guide post 36 within the guide groove 38 is greater than the moving speed of the conveyor belt 2. This allows the cotton loosening plate 6 to pull some of the seed cotton, causing relative movement between the seed cotton, which more effectively loosens the seed cotton and improves the working efficiency of the cotton feeder.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
