Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geotextile production technology, and in particular to a device for adding raw materials for geotextile production. Background Technology

[0002] Geotextiles, also known as engineering fabrics, are permeable geosynthetic materials made of synthetic fibers through needle punching or weaving. The polyester fibers used in geotextile production are supplied in compressed blocks. These polyester fibers need to be opened by an opening machine. The blocky polyester fiber raw material cannot be added to the opening machine's inlet all at once, otherwise it will cause jamming. The conventional feeding method is for workers to peel the polyester fibers layer by layer and then feed the peeled polyester fibers into the opening machine's inlet. This manual feeding method is labor-intensive and increases the company's labor costs.

[0003] Based on the above problems, the inventors proposed a raw material addition device for geotextile production, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers by replacing manual feeding with mechanical feeding. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to describe the solution.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model includes a first belt conveyor 1 for conveying material to the feed inlet of an opening machine. The first belt conveyor 1 is an existing supporting structure for the opening machine. A second belt conveyor 4 is located behind the first belt conveyor 1 and is used for conveying material blocks 3. The second belt conveyor 4 is provided with a clamping mechanism for fixing the material blocks 3, and also with a peeling mechanism for peeling polyester fibers and feeding the polyester fibers onto the first belt conveyor 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the peeling mechanism includes a mounting frame 2 and a separation assembly. The mounting frame 2 is equipped with a drive assembly for driving the separation assembly to swing. Further, the mounting frame 2 includes two uprights 11 and a crossbeam 10. The lower ends of the two uprights 11 are respectively fixed to the two side frames 5 of the second belt conveyor 4, and the upper ends of the two uprights 11 are connected by the crossbeam 10.

[0023] In this embodiment, the separating component includes a fork 12 and a first cylinder 13 for driving the fork 12 to rise and fall. The piston rod of the first cylinder 13 is fixed to the fork 12, and when the fork 12 descends, it can be inserted into the polyester fiber block 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a rotating shaft 14 and a power module for driving the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected to two uprights 11 via bearings. A connecting plate 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the rotating shaft 14, and the cylinder body of the first cylinder 13 is fixed to the connecting plate 21.

[0025] Furthermore, the power module comprises two sets, each mounted on one of the two uprights 11. Each power module includes a second cylinder 17 and a rack 18. The cylinder body of the second cylinder 17 is fixed to the upright 11, and the rack 18 is fixed to the piston rod of the second cylinder 17. A gear 19 meshing with the rack 18 is mounted on the rotating shaft 14. Furthermore, a slide rail 20 is vertically fixed to the crossbeam 10, and the rack 18 is embedded in the slide rail 20 and can slide along it. When the piston rod of the second cylinder 17 extends or retracts, it can drive the rack 18 to move, thereby driving the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. As the rotating shaft 14 rotates, the fork 12 will flip.

[0026] In this embodiment, each power module also includes a protective cover 16, which is fixed to the mounting bracket 2. The second cylinder 17, rack 18, gear 19, and slide rail 20 are all located inside the protective cover 16. Furthermore, the protective cover 16 is provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft 14 to pass through.

[0027] In this embodiment, the stripping mechanism is located near the rear end of the first belt conveyor 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes two sets of clamping assemblies, which are respectively mounted on the two side frames 5 of the second belt conveyor 4. Each clamping assembly includes a fixed base 6, a clamping plate 9, and a third cylinder 7. The fixed base 6 is fixedly mounted on the frame 5, and the third cylinder 7 is located between the fixed base 6 and the clamping plate 9. The cylinder seat of the third cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 6, and the piston rod of the third cylinder 7 is connected to the clamping plate 9. The clamping plate 9 can be displaced under the action of the third cylinder 7. Furthermore, guide rods 8 are vertically fixed to both ends of the clamping plate 9, and the third cylinder 7 is located between two guide rods 8. Each guide rod 8 passes through the fixed base 6. The guide rods 8 serve a guiding function.

[0029] In this embodiment, a through-beam infrared photoelectric switch 15 is provided below the mounting bracket 2, and the through-beam infrared photoelectric switch 15 is fixedly installed on two uprights 11.

[0030] To achieve automated operation, the through-beam infrared photoelectric switch 15 is connected to the input circuit of the programmable logic controller (PLC). The motor of the second belt conveyor 4, the third cylinder 7, the first cylinder 13, and the second cylinder 17 are all connected to the output circuit of the PLC. The PLC is an Omron CP1H series PLC. The circuit connections between the through-beam infrared photoelectric switch 15, the motor of the second belt conveyor 4, the first cylinder 13, the second cylinder 17, the third cylinder 7, and the PLC remain unchanged and use the existing connection configuration. Furthermore, these circuit connections are well-known to those skilled in the art and are clearly documented in relevant patent documents; therefore, the specific circuit connections will not be elaborated further.

[0031] In practical use, the material block 3 moves forward under the drive of the second belt conveyor 4. When the through-beam infrared photoelectric switch 15 detects the material block 3, at this time, part of the material block 3 is located directly below the mounting frame 2. The through-beam infrared photoelectric switch 15 transmits a signal to the programmable logic controller (PLC). The PLC issues an instruction and executes the following actions: First, the second belt conveyor 4 pauses. Then, the third cylinder 7 operates, using the clamps 9 on both sides to clamp the material block 3. Next, the first cylinder 13 operates, and the fork 12 descends and inserts into the polyester fiber material block 3. Finally, the second cylinder 17 operates, driving the rack 18 to move, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The fork 12 flips over, peeling part of the polyester fiber from the material block 3 and feeding it into the first belt conveyor 1. The peeled polyester fiber is finally fed into the opening machine inlet by the first belt conveyor 1. After feeding is completed, the fork 12 flips in the opposite direction and rises to its original position. The clamps 9 on both sides retract, releasing the restriction on the material block 3, and the second belt conveyor 4 resumes forward feeding. When the remaining material block 3 is small, it can be manually fed directly into the feed inlet of the opening machine. During the stripping process, the displacement of the rack 18 is controlled by a programmable logic controller, thereby controlling the tilting angle of the fork 12.

[0032] This invention, through the combined use of a clamping mechanism and a peeling mechanism, replaces manual feeding with mechanical feeding, effectively reducing the labor intensity of workers.
