Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, specifically to a fabric distribution system and production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the corn processing industry, the corn feeding system is a crucial link connecting upstream raw material handling and downstream processing steps. Its function is to evenly and stably transport corn raw materials to subsequent processing equipment. To improve production efficiency, existing feeding systems have largely replaced manual labor with machines. However, in actual production operations, it has been found that existing corn feeding systems experience situations where corn is not fed out in time during the feeding process, leading to jamming. This necessitates manual clearing, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, when multiple outlets are required for discharge, jamming at one outlet can affect the discharge from the next. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the existing corn feeding system to avoid jamming during the feeding process and improve feeding efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem of material jamming during the fabric application process in existing technologies, this invention provides a fabric application system and production line that can prevent material jamming and improve production efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A fabric feeding system includes a conveyor belt, a guide hopper, and a material blocking and conveying mechanism. Baffles are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt, and a discharge port is provided on one side of the baffle. The guide hopper is located at the discharge port. The material blocking and conveying mechanism includes a support frame, a conveyor belt, and a conveyor belt frame. The support frame is fixed to the baffles on both sides. The conveyor belt is disposed within the conveyor belt frame and perpendicular to the conveyor belt. One end of the conveyor belt frame is hinged to the support frame, and the other end of the conveyor belt frame is connected to an arc-shaped slide rail via a slider. The arc-shaped slide rail is fixed to the support frame. A first cylinder is provided between the conveyor belt frame and the support frame. The first cylinder drives the conveyor belt frame to move on the arc-shaped slide rail to achieve movement within the width of the conveyor belt, thereby realizing material blocking, conveying, and discharging.

[0006] Furthermore, the guide hopper is hinged to the discharge port, and the guide hopper is connected to the conveyor belt frame via a pull line. The movement of the conveyor belt frame drives the guide hopper to move up and down via the pull line, so as to guide and block materials through the guide hopper.

[0007] Furthermore, a retaining ramp is provided near the discharge port of the guide hopper. When the conveyor belt frame is arranged parallel to the transmission belt, the maximum height of the retaining ramp is greater than the height of the conveyor belt. When material does not need to be discharged from this guide hopper, the retaining ramp on the guide hopper serves to retain the material, allowing it to travel along the conveyor belt to the next guide hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide hopper is fixed to the discharge port.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a material blocking mechanism, which includes a second cylinder and a material blocking plate. The second cylinder is fixed on the support frame, and the output end of the second cylinder is connected to the material blocking plate. The length of the material blocking plate matches the width of the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is configured as a flexible conveyor belt, and it is equipped with several protective guide strips integrally formed with the conveyor belt at intervals. The conveyor belt assists in material conveying and prevents material jamming. The protective guide strips improve conveying efficiency and reduce material breakage rate.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective guide strip protrudes from the conveyor belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveyor belt frame includes an upper crossbeam and a lower crossbeam arranged in parallel. The upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam are connected near the material inlet end by a side frame perpendicular to the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam. The side frame is hinged to the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the guide hopper and the material blocking and conveying mechanism are arranged in several groups at intervals along the conveyor belt.

[0014] Furthermore, a material identification module is installed on the support frame near the feed end. This module is connected to a controller, which controls the operation of the first cylinder and the conveyor belt. When material is being fed in, the module identifies it. After identification, the controller opens the first cylinder, causing the conveyor belt frame to move and block the material. The controller then further controls the conveyor belt to guide the material and prevent jamming.

[0015] A production line comprising the aforementioned fabric system.

[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The material feeding system of this utility model, through the structural setting of the material blocking and conveying mechanism, realizes material conveying while blocking material during the material discharge process, avoids material jamming, and improves production efficiency.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a fabric feeding system, including a conveyor belt 1, several sets of guide hoppers 2 arranged at intervals on the conveyor belt 1, and a material blocking and conveying mechanism 3 matched with the guide hoppers 2. Baffles 11 perpendicular to the conveyor belt are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, and a discharge port 12 is provided on one side of the baffle 11. The guide hoppers 2 are located at the discharge port 12. In this embodiment, the guide hoppers 2 are hinged to the discharge port 12, and the guide hoppers 2 can swing up and down at the connection point with the discharge port 12. Of course, in order to limit the maximum and minimum amplitude of the upward or downward swing of the guide hoppers 2, upper limit plates and lower limit plates are provided on both sides of the discharge port for limiting the upper and lower positions of the guide hoppers 2.

[0034] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the material conveying mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31, a conveyor belt 32, and a conveyor belt frame 34. The support frame 31 is fixed to and higher than the baffles 11 on both sides. The conveyor belt frame 34 is a rectangular structure with one open end, including an upper crossbeam and a lower crossbeam arranged in parallel. The upper and lower crossbeams are connected near the material inlet end by a side frame perpendicular to the upper and lower crossbeams, and the side frame is hinged to the support frame 31. A slider 36 is provided at the end of the upper crossbeam away from the side frame of the conveyor belt frame 34. An arc-shaped slide rail 35 matching the slider 36 is provided on the support frame 31, and the arc-shaped slide rail 35 is fixed at the end of the support frame 31 away from the material inlet. A first cylinder 37 is provided between the conveyor belt frame 34 and the support frame 31. One end of the first cylinder 37 is fixed to the support frame 31, and the output end of the first cylinder 37 is connected to the upper crossbeam. The first cylinder 37 drives the conveyor belt frame 34 to move on the arc-shaped slide rail 35 to achieve movement within the width range of the conveyor belt 1, so as to realize material blocking, material conveying and material discharge.

[0035] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 22 is provided on the guide hopper 2. The connecting rod 22 is horizontally fixed on the guide hopper 2, and a pull wire opening 23 is provided on the connecting rod 22. A pull wire 4 is connected to the pull wire opening 23. The other end of the pull wire 4 is fixed to a positioning pin 38 on the upper crossbeam. During the movement of the conveyor belt frame 34 driven by the first cylinder 37, the pull wire 4 drives the guide hopper 2 to move up and down, so as to guide and block materials through the guide hopper 2. The structural design is flexible, and the synchronous movement of the conveyor belt frame 34 and the guide hopper 2 can be achieved by driving the first cylinder 37.

[0036] To better prevent material from entering the feed hopper 2 where no material needs to be fed, a retaining ramp 21 is provided near the discharge port of the feed hopper 2. When the conveyor belt frame 34 is arranged parallel to the conveyor belt 1, the maximum height of the retaining ramp 21 is greater than the height of the conveyor belt 1. When no material needs to be discharged from the feed hopper 2, the retaining ramp 21 on the feed hopper 2 achieves the purpose of retaining material, allowing the material to move along the conveyor belt 1 to the next feed hopper 2.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveyor belt 32 is a flexible conveyor belt made of flexible silicone or plastic. The purpose of using a flexible material is to avoid damage to the material. Several protective guide strips 321, integrally formed with the conveyor belt 32 and spaced apart, are provided on the conveyor belt 32. The protective guide strips 321 protrude from the conveyor belt 32. They assist in material conveying as the conveyor belt 32 runs, preventing material jamming. The protective guide strips 321 improve conveying efficiency and reduce material breakage rate.

[0038] Of course, to improve the intelligence of the entire fabric feeding system, a material recognition module, such as a camera or infrared sensor, is installed on the support frame 31 near the feeding end. The material recognition module is connected to a controller, which controls the operation of the first cylinder 37 and the conveyor belt 32. When material is fed, it can be recognized. After recognition, the controller controls the first cylinder 37 to open, causing the conveyor belt frame 34 to move to block the material, and further controls the operation of the conveyor belt 32 to guide the material and avoid jamming.

[0039] In the specific fabric application process, the material enters the fabric application system via conveyor belt 1. After the material recognition module detects the material entering, the first cylinder 37 drives the end of the conveyor belt frame 34 to move towards the discharge port. When it reaches the end away from the discharge port, it stops moving. At the same time, the drive motor 33 of the conveyor belt 32 starts running, and the conveyor belt 32 moves, further conveying the material entering through conveyor belt 1 to the guide hopper 2 by the conveyor belt frame 34 during the material blocking process, thus avoiding material jamming. After the first part of the material is guided, the first cylinder 37 retracts, pulling the conveyor belt frame 34 back to its initial position. At the same time, the pull cable 4 connects to the guide hopper 2 and lifts the guide hopper 2. At this time, as the material enters the next guide hopper 2 via conveyor belt 1, it passes through the material blocking ramp 21 in the first guide hopper 2, preventing the material from entering the first guide hopper 2, allowing the material to smoothly enter the next set of guide hopper 2 and material blocking and conveying mechanism 3 from the first set of guide hopper 2 and material blocking and conveying mechanism 3.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Based on Example 1, the difference from Example 1 is that, as Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the guide hopper 2 is fixed to the discharge port. When the first set of guide hoppers 2 and the material blocking and conveying mechanism 3 finishes operating and enters the next set of guide hoppers 2 and the material blocking and conveying mechanism 3, the material is blocked by a material blocking mechanism provided on the support frame 31. The material blocking mechanism includes a second cylinder 5 and a baffle plate 6. The second cylinder 5 is fixed to the support frame 31, and the output end of the second cylinder 5 is connected to the baffle plate 6. The length of the baffle plate 6 matches the width of the discharge port. When the first cylinder 37 drives the conveyor belt frame 34 into the initial state, the second cylinder 5 drives the baffle plate 6 to the position of the discharge port to block the material.

[0042] The embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
