Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to down screening equipment, and more particularly to an adjustable down sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Down insulation materials have become the core filling material for winter clothing, bedding and other products due to their excellent warmth retention, lightness and breathability. The quality of down sorting directly determines the warmth retention, loft and comfort of the final product. Therefore, efficient and precise down sorting technology plays a key role in the down processing industry.

[0003] In the down processing process, traditional sorting methods mainly rely on manual screening, where impurities are removed and down of different specifications are separated by hand. However, manual sorting is not only inefficient and costly, but it is also difficult to ensure the consistency of sorting standards. Differences in human operation can easily lead to fluctuations in down quality, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0004] To address the drawbacks of manual sorting, the industry is gradually shifting towards the research and application of mechanized sorting equipment. For example, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221674987U discloses a sorting device for the production of down insulation materials. This device uses a first fan at the bottom of the main chamber to drive airflow, causing the down to float upwards. In conjunction with the dispersing components (composed of an mounting ring, a first rotating rod, a stirring plate, and rubber protrusions) inside the main chamber, the adhering down is broken up. Then, the down is sorted and collected through a down collection chamber and a filter screen, effectively solving the problem of down sticking together during traditional machine sorting and significantly improving sorting efficiency.

[0005] However, existing mechanized sorting equipment (including the device disclosed in CN221674987U) still has significant limitations: its sorting structure is relatively fixed, and the sorting units (such as sorting bins) within the sorting box are usually pre-set single or a fixed number of interconnected structures. This makes it impossible to flexibly adjust the matching relationship between the conveying channel and the corresponding sorting bin according to the actual sorting needs of different specifications of down (such as down of different lengths and lofts) in production. When sorting multiple specifications of down is required, it is necessary to adjust parameters or replace sorting components through multiple start-ups and shutdowns, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. This results in weak adaptability of the equipment to diverse production needs, making it difficult to balance sorting flexibility and production efficiency, and failing to meet the current market demand for processing multiple types of down products.

[0006] As consumers increasingly demand personalized and diversified down products, the production end urgently needs a sorting device that can flexibly adjust the sorting channel according to the down specifications and adapt to different sorting bins, so as to achieve accurate sorting of multiple specifications of down in a single equipment run, improve sorting efficiency and equipment versatility, and reduce production switching costs. This has become an important direction in the current research and development of down processing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an adjustable down sorting device.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method: An adjustable down sorting device includes a base, a storage bin, and a sorting bin. A first fan is installed on the base, the storage bin is installed on the base and covers the first fan, and the storage bin is connected to the sorting bin. The storage box is equipped with a body, and the body is equipped with a conveying pipe. The conveying pipe is connected to the storage box through the body. The conveying pipe can be raised and lowered on the body. The sorting box is equipped with at least two sorting chambers that are not connected to each other. When the conveying pipe is raised and lowered, it can be connected to the corresponding sorting chamber. A second fan is installed on the conveying pipe to blow down into the sorting chamber.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying pipe includes a horizontal pipe and a vertical pipe. The vertical pipe is vertically installed on the horizontal pipe, and the horizontal pipe is installed above the vertical pipe and connected to it. The horizontal pipe and the vertical pipe form a "T" shape. The vertical pipe is raised and lowered on the machine body. One end of the horizontal pipe is connected to the sorting box, and the other end is equipped with a second fan.

[0010] Preferably, a cylinder is installed on the machine body, and the extension rod of the cylinder is connected to the conveying pipe and drives it to rise and fall.

[0011] Preferably, the sorting box is provided with a conveying hole corresponding to the sorting bin, and the conveying pipe is connected to the sorting bin through the conveying hole, with the lowest part of the conveying hole flush with the bottom surface of the sorting bin.

[0012] Preferably, a guide groove is installed on the outer wall of the sorting box, the conveying hole is located in the guide groove, and the conveying pipe is connected to the conveying hole through the guide groove.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the sorting box is provided with a bag bin for placing storage bags. The sorting bins are arranged longitudinally, and the sorting box is provided with a material conveying channel corresponding to the sorting bin. The sorting bins are connected to the bag bin through their respective material conveying channels.

[0014] Preferably, the side of the sorting box is provided with a cabinet door for cleaning the sorting chamber, and the conveying hole and the material conveying channel are respectively located on both sides of the cabinet door.

[0015] Preferably, the base is provided with a mounting slot, the first fan is installed in the mounting slot, and a mesh layer is installed in the mounting slot.

[0016] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects: The liftable conveyor pipe on the machine body works in conjunction with at least two unconnected sorting bins inside the sorting box. This allows the conveyor pipe to flexibly connect to different sorting bins through lifting and lowering, adapting to the sorting needs of various down specifications without frequent start-ups and shutdowns or parts replacements. This significantly improves the equipment's adaptability to diverse sorting tasks and ease of operation. At the same time, the second fan on the conveyor pipe can actively blow down into the corresponding sorting bin, ensuring that the down enters the target sorting space stably and efficiently. Furthermore, the unconnected sorting bins prevent the mixing of down of different specifications, effectively ensuring sorting accuracy and improving the overall efficiency and quality of down sorting.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0023] Example 1 Down is classified into four grades: down clusters, down sheets, down fibers, and feathers. Down clusters are of the highest quality and offer the best warmth, while feathers are of the lowest quality and offer the least warmth. To produce down products of different qualities, the down is sorted to separate the down clusters and down sheets. This requires sorting equipment. Because down clusters have a complete hemispherical structure that can trap air to the maximum extent and are lightweight, their air-encapsulating capacity is much higher than other types, making them the most buoyant. Down sheets, although lacking a complete down core, still retain some interwoven down fibers, which can trap a certain amount of air, resulting in slightly lower buoyancy than down clusters. Down fibers and feathers have relatively poor buoyancy. When a fan blows down, down clusters, down sheets, down fibers, and feathers will be at different heights, which is the key to down sorting.

[0024] An adjustable down sorting device includes a base 10, a storage bin 11, and a sorting bin 12. The storage bin 11 is used to hold the down to be sorted. A first fan 13 is installed on the base 10. The storage bin 11 is installed on the base 10 and covers the first fan 13. The storage bin 11 is connected to the sorting bin 12. The first fan 13 blows the down up so that down of different qualities is at different heights. An assembly 14 is installed on the storage bin 11. A conveying pipe 15 is installed on the assembly 14. The conveying pipe 15 is connected to the storage bin 11 through the assembly 14. The conveying pipe 15 can be raised and lowered on the assembly 14. The sorting bin 12 has at least two sorting chambers 121 that are not connected to each other. When the conveying pipe 15 is raised and lowered, it can be connected to the corresponding sorting chamber 121. A second fan 16 is installed on the conveying pipe 15 to blow the down into the sorting chamber 121.

[0025] Working principle: First, the first fan 13 installed on the base 10 is started. Since the storage box 11 is installed on the base 10 and covered by the first fan 13, the airflow generated by the first fan 13 can loosen the down in the storage box 11 and prepare it for conveying. Then, the down in the storage box 11 enters the conveying pipe 15 installed on the machine body 14 through the body 14 connected to it. Next, according to the different specifications of the down to be sorted, the lifting height of the conveying pipe 15 on the machine body 14 is adjusted so that the conveying pipe 15 is connected to the corresponding sorting bins 121 of at least two pre-set, non-connected sorting bins 121 in the sorting box 12. Finally, the second fan 16 installed on the conveying pipe 15 is started. The air force generated by the second fan 16 blows the down in the conveying pipe 15 into the sorting bins 121 connected to it, completing the sorting of down of specific specifications. The design of the sorting bins 121 being non-connected can avoid the mixing of down of different specifications during the sorting process.

[0026] The body 14 on the storage box 11 is equipped with a liftable conveying pipe 15. The conveying pipe 15 can be lifted and precisely connected to at least two non-connected sorting chambers 121 in the sorting box 12. Without frequent start-ups and shutdowns of the equipment or replacement of sorting components, it can flexibly adapt to the sorting needs of different specifications of down, greatly improving the adaptability and ease of operation of the equipment to diverse sorting tasks. The second fan 16 installed on the conveying pipe 15 can actively generate air force to blow down into the corresponding sorting chamber 121, ensuring the stability and efficiency of down conveying. At the same time, the non-connected design of the sorting chambers 121 can avoid the mixing of down of different specifications during the sorting process, effectively ensuring the sorting accuracy. Overall, it achieves a dual improvement in down sorting efficiency and quality.

[0027] The conveying pipe 15 includes a horizontal pipe 151 and a vertical pipe 152. The vertical pipe 152 is vertically arranged on the horizontal pipe 151. The horizontal pipe 151 is arranged above the vertical pipe 152 and connected to it. The horizontal pipe 151 and the vertical pipe 152 form a "T" shape. The vertical pipe 152 is raised and lowered on the machine body 14. One end of the horizontal pipe 151 is connected to the sorting box 12, and the other end is equipped with a second fan 16. The longitudinal tube 152 can be raised and lowered on the body 14, and can synchronously drive the connected horizontal tube 151 to adjust its height. One end of the horizontal tube 151 is connected to the sorting box 12. This design allows the horizontal tube 151 to accurately connect with the sorting bins 121 of different heights in the sorting box 12, further adapting to the sorting needs of various specifications of down and improving the flexibility and accuracy of the connection between the conveying pipe 15 and the sorting bin 121. Thirdly, the second fan 16 is installed at the other end of the horizontal tube 151 and can generate concentrated air force along the axial direction of the horizontal tube 151, which can efficiently blow the down in the horizontal tube 151 toward the sorting box 12, which not only improves the down conveying efficiency, but also avoids the down from stagnating in the horizontal tube 151, ensuring the stable progress of the sorting process.

[0028] A cylinder 17 is installed on the machine body 14. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 17 is connected to the conveying pipe 15 and drives it to rise and fall. The cylinder 17 has a fast response speed and can quickly drive the conveying pipe 15 to adjust to the target height according to the sorting requirements of different specifications of down. There is no need for repeated manual adjustments, which greatly improves the efficiency of the height adjustment of the conveying pipe 15 and is suitable for large-scale, multi-batch down sorting operations.

[0029] The sorting box 12 is provided with conveying holes 122 corresponding to the sorting bins 121. In this embodiment, there are three conveying holes 122, each of which is connected to a sorting bin 121. The conveying pipe 15 is connected to the sorting bin 121 through the conveying holes 122. The lowest part of the conveying hole 122 is flush with the bottom surface of the sorting bin 121. The flushness of the lowest part of the conveying hole 122 with the bottom surface of the sorting bin 121 eliminates the height difference between the conveying hole 122 and the bottom surface of the sorting bin 121. When the second fan 16 blows down into the sorting bin 121 through the conveying pipe 15 and the conveying holes 122, the down can fall directly to the bottom surface of the sorting bin 121. There will be no residue, accumulation at the opening, or incomplete entry into the bin due to the conveying hole 122 being lower or higher than the bottom of the bin. This minimizes down waste and ensures complete collection of sorted materials.

[0030] A guide groove 123 is installed on the outer wall of the sorting box 12, and a conveying hole 122 is located in the guide groove 123. The conveying pipe 15 is connected to the conveying hole 122 through the guide groove 123. The guide groove 123 provides clear trajectory restriction and guidance for the lifting and lowering movement of the conveying pipe 15, avoiding lateral deviation or shaking of the conveying pipe 15 when adjusting its height to align with the conveying hole 122. This significantly improves the accuracy of the alignment between the conveying pipe 15 and the conveying hole 122, ensuring that the down can stably enter the corresponding sorting bin 121.

[0031] The bottom of the sorting box 12 is equipped with a bag compartment 124 for placing storage bags. The sorting compartments 121 are arranged longitudinally, and the sorting box 12 is equipped with a conveying channel 125 corresponding to the sorting compartments 121. The sorting compartments 121 are connected to the bag compartments 124 through their respective conveying channels 125. The bag compartment 124 at the bottom of the sorting box 12 allows the sorted down to be directly fed into the storage bags through the subsequent channels, eliminating the need for additional transfer and collection components. This simplifies the down collection process after sorting and facilitates quick replacement of the storage bags when they are full, improving the convenience of down collection and subsequent transportation. The sorting box 12 has a cabinet door 126 on its side for cleaning the sorting chamber 121. The conveying hole 122 and the material conveying channel 125 are respectively located on both sides of the cabinet door 126. The cabinet door 126 can be opened directly, which can easily clean the residual down and impurities inside the sorting chamber 121, avoiding the accumulation of residual materials that may affect the accuracy of subsequent down sorting. At the same time, it does not require disassembling the main structure of the sorting box 12, which greatly reduces the difficulty of equipment maintenance and cleaning.

[0032] The base 10 is provided with a mounting slot 101, the first fan 13 is mounted on the mounting slot 101, and a mesh layer 18 is installed on the mounting slot 101.

[0033] Example 2 Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the device for driving the conveying pipe 15 to rise and fall is a screw and slider structure. A motor is installed on the machine body 14, a screw is installed on the output end of the motor, and a slider is fixed on the conveying pipe 15. The screw and the slider are threadedly connected. The motor drives the screw to rotate, and the screw drives the slider to rise and fall, thereby driving the conveying pipe 15 to rise and fall.
