Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of down feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for down processing. Background Technology

[0002] Down processing feeding device is a key piece of equipment in down processing production line used to orderly and stably transport down raw materials (such as raw feathers, recycled down, fluffed down, etc.) to subsequent processing stages (such as washing, sorting, drying, fluffing, packaging, etc.). Its core function is to realize the automated or semi-automated feeding of raw materials, reduce manual intervention, and ensure the continuity and efficiency of the processing flow.

[0003] When the untreated down mixture is transported to the washing tank, the down mixture may become clogged as it passes through the conveyor pipe due to the large amount of impurities it contains. The current solution is to manually clean the remaining impurities in the pipe regularly through cleaning doors and inspection ports reserved on the conveyor pipe, especially when changing shifts or raw material batches.

[0004] Considering that when the conveying pipe becomes blocked during the production process, manual cleaning requires stopping the machine and cutting off the material supply, which will cause the upstream down mixture to be unable to be conveyed and accumulate, and the downstream washing pool to stop operating due to lack of material, and the subsequent dehydration, drying and other processes will also be halted, resulting in a production continuity interruption and a significant reduction in efficiency, an automatic feeding device for down processing is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for down processing, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art where manual cleaning is required when the conveying pipe is blocked during production, resulting in the accumulation of down mixture upstream, material shortage and shutdown of the downstream washing pool, and stagnation of subsequent dehydration, drying and other processes, causing production interruption and a sharp drop in efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for down processing, comprising a support frame, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the top of the outer surface of the support frame, a fixed cover fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a flip cover hinged to the outer surface of the fixed cover, an inner tube contacting the inner surface of the fixed cover, the inner surface of the flip cover contacting the outer surface of the inner tube, and a fixing component provided on the top of the outer surface of the fixed cover; The fixing assembly includes a flip cover, the outer surface of which is hinged to the top of the outer surface of the fixing cover. A retaining ring is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the flip cover. A buckle is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the flip cover. The outer surface of the retaining ring engages with the outer surface of the buckle. A locking buckle is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the fixing cover. The outer surface of the locking buckle penetrates and slides through the inner surface of the flip cover. A feed pipe is contacted and connected to the right side of the outer surface of the fixing cover. A discharge pipe is contacted and connected to the left side of the outer surface of the fixing cover.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the discharge pipe is provided with a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly including a sleeve, the inner surface of the sleeve penetrating and slidably connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe, a groove is provided at the top of the outer surface of the sleeve, a limit post is slidably connected to the inner surface of the groove, the bottom of the outer surface of the limit post is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the discharge pipe, and the right side of the outer surface of the sleeve is elastically connected to the top of the outer surface of the discharge pipe by a tension spring.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing assembly further includes two sets of mating rings, which are fixed to the right side of the flip cover and the fixed cover respectively, and the outer surfaces of the two sets of mating rings are simultaneously inserted into the inner surface of the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve, the right side of the slide groove is J-shaped, and the outer surface of the limiting post is engaged with the right side of the inner surface of the slide groove.

[0010] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the support frame, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the outer surface of the support frame is provided with a receiving component, the receiving component including a receiving tray, and a discharge hopper is fixedly connected to the center of the inner surface of the receiving tray.

[0012] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the support frame, and the top of the protective cover is inclined.

[0013] Preferably, both the fixed cover and the flip cover are provided in two sets, and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rotation axis.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, two sets of fixed covers and flip covers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft, each set corresponding to a set of inner tubes. When one set of inner tubes is blocked, the motor can be started to drive the rotating shaft to quickly switch to another set of unblocked inner tubes, without waiting for the cleaning process of the blocked inner core, effectively avoiding production stoppages caused by untimely cleaning.

[0015] In this invention, after replacing the blocked inner tube, the removed blocked inner tube can be cleaned after production is completed, without taking up production time. Furthermore, a set of spare inner tubes is always kept in a switchable state, avoiding the situation where there is no unblocked delivery tube available when the newly replaced inner core becomes blocked again, thus ensuring continuous production.

[0016] In this invention, the sleeve and the docking ring in the sealing assembly can be inserted and matched to effectively seal the connection between the feed pipe, the discharge pipe and the fixed cover and the flip cover, preventing down leakage and avoiding material waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, with the synergistic effect of the slide, the limiting post and the tension spring, the sealing state can be quickly unlocked and locked, making the operation convenient and labor-saving, facilitating the rapid switching of the inner tube, ensuring the continuity of down processing feed and improving production efficiency.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic feeding device for down processing, including a support frame 1, which provides stable support for the entire device and ensures the stability of the installation and operation of each component. A rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the outer surface of the support frame 1, which can rotate around the support frame 1 and provide a rotating carrier for the flipping and switching of the fixed cover 3. A fixed cover 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2, which works with the flipping cover 6 to fix the inner tube 10 and provide installation space for the inner tube 10. The flipping cover 6 is hinged to the outer surface of the fixed cover 3, and can be flipped and opened relative to the fixed cover 3 through the hinge structure, which facilitates the removal, placement and replacement of the inner tube 10. The inner surface of the fixed cover 3 is in contact with the inner tube 10, which serves as a channel for down conveying and realizes stable down feeding. The inner surface of the flipping cover 6 is in contact with the outer surface of the inner tube 10, and together with the fixed cover 3, clamps the inner tube 10, enhancing the stability of the inner tube 10 installation.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-3 A fixing component 11 is provided on the top of the outer surface of the fixed cover 3; it is used to lock the flip cover 6 and the fixed cover 3 together to prevent the inner tube 10 from loosening during operation. The fixing component 11 includes a flip cover 113, which is a movable part of the fixing component 11 and can flip relative to the fixed cover 3 to provide a carrier for the installation and movement of the retaining ring 112. The outer surface of the flip cover 113 is hinged to the top of the outer surface of the fixed cover 3. The hinge enables the flip cover 113 to flip flexibly, which facilitates the engagement or disengagement of the retaining ring 112 and the buckle 111. The inner surface of the flip cover 113 is rotatably connected to the retaining ring 112, which can rotate relative to the flip cover 113 to facilitate engagement and fixation with the buckle 111. The top of the outer surface of the flip cover 6 is fixedly connected to the buckle 111, which cooperates with the retaining ring 112 to lock the flip cover 6 and the fixed cover 3, enhancing the stability after closure. The outer surface of the retaining ring 112 engages with the outer surface of the buckle 111, and the engaging structure tightly fixes the flip cover 6 and the fixed cover 3 to prevent the flip cover 6 from opening accidentally during operation.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 A latch 114 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the fixed cover 3 to lock the position of the flip cover 113 and prevent the retaining ring 112 from accidentally separating from the latch 111. The outer surface of the latch 114 penetrates and slides through the inner surface of the flip cover 113, so that after the latch 114 penetrates the flip cover 113, the flip cover 113 can be fixed in a designated position by a pin or lock to prevent the flip cover 113 from flipping. The right side of the outer surface of the fixed cover 3 is connected to the feed pipe 4, which conveys the down to be processed to the inner tube 10 and provides a source of feed for the inner tube 10. The left side of the outer surface of the fixed cover 3 is connected to the discharge pipe 5, which discharges the down conveyed by the inner tube 10 to the next processing stage, thus completing the feeding and conveying.

[0023] Reference Figures 3-5 A sealing assembly 12 is provided on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 5. The sealing assembly 12 includes a sleeve 121, which is the main structure of the sealing assembly 12. It achieves axial movement through a sliding connection with the discharge pipe 5. At the same time, it can be inserted into the docking ring 126 to form a seal and limit at the connection between the fixed cover 3, the flip cover 6 and the discharge pipe 5, preventing down from leaking from the connection and limiting the axial movement of the fixed cover 3. The inner surface of the sleeve 121 penetrates and slides through the outer surface of the discharge pipe 5. A groove 122 is provided on the top of the outer surface of the sleeve 121. A limit post 123 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the groove 122. The groove 122 is the key structure for realizing the axial movement and circumferential positioning of the sleeve 121. Its unique J-shaped design allows the limit post 123 to both unlock and move the sleeve 121 during sliding, and to limit the axial displacement of the sleeve 121 when locked, ensuring a tight seal. The stability of the sealing assembly 12 in the locked state is ensured by the bottom of the outer surface of the limiting post 123 being fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the discharge pipe 5. The limiting post 123 is a connection and limiting component between the sleeve 121 and the discharge pipe 5. By sliding in the slide groove 122, the movement direction of the sleeve 121 is guided, and the J-shaped end of the slide groove 122 is engaged to limit the axial movement of the sleeve 121, ensuring the reliability of the sealing assembly 12 when locked. The right side of the outer surface of the sleeve 121 is elastically connected to the top of the outer surface of the discharge pipe 5 through the tension spring 124. The tension spring 124 provides elastic restoring force to the sleeve 121, causing the sleeve 121 to automatically move to the right after unlocking, releasing the insertion with the docking ring 126, which facilitates the operator to perform the switching operation of the inner tube 10. At the same time, when locked, it helps the sleeve 121 maintain the insertion state with the docking ring 126, enhancing the reliability of sealing and limiting.

[0024] Reference Figures 3-5The sealing assembly 12 also includes two sets of docking rings 126, which are fixed to the right sides of the flip cover 6 and the fixed cover 3, respectively. The outer surfaces of the two sets of docking rings 126 are simultaneously inserted into the inner surface of the sleeve 121. The docking rings 126 are the sealing and connecting components of the sealing assembly 12. The two sets of docking rings 126 are fixed to the fixed cover 3 and the flip cover 6, respectively. After the sleeve 121 is inserted, the connection between the fixed cover 3, the flip cover 6 and the discharge pipe 5 or the feed pipe 4 is sealed to prevent down leakage. A handle 125 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sleeve 121. The handle 125 is used by the operator to control the sleeve 121. The movable operating component allows for easy axial movement and circumferential rotation of the sleeve 121 by gripping the handle 125, making operation more convenient and labor-saving, and facilitating quick release or locking of the sealing assembly 12. The right side of the slide groove 122 is J-shaped, and the outer surface of the limiting post 123 engages with the right side of the inner surface of the slide groove 122. The J-shaped design of the slide groove 122 is key to locking the sleeve 121. When the limiting post 123 engages with the end of the J-shape, the axial movement of the sleeve 121 is restricted, thereby keeping the sleeve 121 in the insertion state with the docking ring 126, ensuring the stability of the sealing assembly 12 during device operation.

[0025] Reference Figures 2-3 A motor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the support frame 1, providing driving force for the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and realizing the switching function of the fixed cover 3. The output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2, transmitting the power of the motor 9 to the rotating shaft 2 and driving the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. A receiving component 7 is provided on the outer surface of the support frame 1 to receive down or materials falling from both ends of the inner tube 10 during replacement, avoiding material waste and environmental pollution. The receiving component 7 includes a receiving tray 701, which is the main component for receiving materials and receiving the falling materials. A discharge hopper 702 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner surface of the receiving tray 701 to collect and discharge the materials received by the receiving tray 701 for easy recycling.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 A protective cover 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the support frame 1 to protect the motor 9 and other components, preventing down or impurities from entering and affecting the operation of the motor 9. The top of the protective cover 8 is inclined, and the inclined structure allows the fallen down or impurities to slide off, avoiding accumulation on the top of the protective cover 8. There are two sets of fixed cover 3 and flip cover 6, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 2. The symmetrical arrangement allows for quick switching to the other set when one set of inner tube 10 is blocked, ensuring production continuity.

[0027] Working principle: When one of the inner tubes 10 becomes blocked, first release the sealing assembly 12 between the feed pipe 4 and the discharge pipe 5 to allow the rotating shaft 2 to switch the inner tube 10. To release the blockage, first grasp the handle 125 and move the sleeve 121 laterally to disengage the limiting post 123 from the right side of the slide groove 122. Then rotate the sleeve 121 to move the limiting post 123 into the straight groove of the slide groove 122. Next, release the handle 125, allowing the sleeve 121 to automatically move to the right under the force of the tension spring 124 to disengage from the mating ring on the fixing cover 3 and the flip cover 6. After inserting 126, the sealing component 12 on the feed pipe 4 is released in the same way, thereby releasing the sealing and limiting state of the two sealing components 12 at the left and right ends of the connection of the fixed cover 3 and the flip cover 6, so that the motor 9 can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and at the same time drive the two sets of fixed covers 3 and flip covers 6 to rotate simultaneously, thereby swapping the blocked inner tube 10 with the unused inner tube 10, and then sealing and limiting the left and right ends of the connection by reversing the operation of the two sets of sealing components 12, thereby quickly dealing with the production stoppage caused by the blockage of the inner tube 10.

[0028] When it is necessary to remove the inner tube 10 that has been blocked after being swapped, first release the pin or lock on the latch 114, then flip the flip cover 113 upwards, so that the flip cover 113 moves the retaining ring 112 to release the latch 111 on the top of the flip cover 6, thereby releasing the closure between the flip cover 6 and the fixed cover 3. Then flip the flip cover 6 outwards, remove the inner tube 10 that has been blocked inside, place the spare inner tube 10 inside, and then fix it inside by the fixing component 11. The replaced inner tube 10 can be cleaned after the production is finished, without taking up extra manpower and resources during production.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
