Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dewatering machines, and more particularly to a feeding mechanism for a dewatering machine. Background Technology

[0002] After the polyester woven fabric is dyed, it needs to be dehydrated in a dehydrator. The working principle is to use the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the inner drum to quickly remove the moisture from the fabric, with a dehydration rate of up to 95%.

[0003] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN20842375U discloses a fabric feeding mechanism for a dewatering machine, including a bracket, a support rod, and a transmission roller assembly. The support rod is fixed to the ground, and the bracket is located at the end of the support rod away from the ground. The bracket is positioned above the dewatering machine, and the transmission roller assembly is rotatably connected to the bracket. It also includes a fabric extrusion device, located at the end of the bracket near the transport vehicle. The extrusion device includes a fixing component and an extruding component mounted on the bracket, with the extruding component mounted on the fixing component. This utility model has the following advantages and effects: it reduces the weight of the fabric.

[0004] When feeding the fabric for the first time, the fabric needs to be passed around the transmission roller assembly in sequence. Since the transmission roller assembly is located at a high position, the staff needs to climb to perform the feeding operation. The fabric is heavy, making the operation difficult for the staff and compromising their safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] To reduce the operational difficulty for workers and ensure their personal safety, this application provides a feeding mechanism for a dewatering machine.

[0006] The feeding mechanism of the dewatering machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A feeding mechanism for a dewatering machine includes a vertical rod, a horizontal rod, two swing rods, two transmission rollers, and a driving component. The horizontal rod is mounted on the vertical rod, and the two swing rods are located on both sides of the vertical rod. One end of each swing rod is rotatably connected to the vertical rod in a horizontal direction. The two transmission rollers correspond to the two swing rods and are rotatably connected to the other end of the corresponding swing rod. The driving component is used to drive the two swing rods to be in a horizontal or vertical state simultaneously. When the swing rod is in a vertical state, the transmission roller is located at the lowest point of the swing rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the two swing rods are switched between horizontal and vertical states by the drive component. When the swing rod is in the vertical state, the transmission roller is located at the lowest point of the swing rod. The operator does not need to climb and can complete the hanging operation of the fabric onto the transmission roller on the ground, which greatly reduces the difficulty of operation and ensures the safety of the operator. When the swing rod is switched to the horizontal state, a stable feeding channel is formed to ensure smooth subsequent fabric transmission and lay the foundation for the entire feeding process.

[0008] Optionally, the driving component includes a drive motor, a drive gear, and two meshing gears. The two meshing gears correspond to two swing rods and are aligned with the rotation axes of the swing rods. The meshing gears are mounted on the corresponding swing rods and mesh with each other. The drive gear is rotatably connected to a vertical rod, and the drive motor is mounted on the vertical rod. The drive motor is used to drive the drive gear to rotate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and then the drive gear and two meshing gears are used to transmit the synchronous rotation of the two swing arms. This gear transmission method not only ensures the consistency of the two swing arms' movements and ensures that they are in place synchronously when switching states, but also has the characteristics of structural stability and precise power transmission. It allows the swing arms to operate reliably during the switching between horizontal and vertical states, effectively improving the durability of the entire feeding mechanism and avoiding the impact of feeding operations due to drive structure failure.

[0010] Optionally, when the swing arm is in a horizontal state, the swing arm abuts against the lower end face of the horizontal bar. A retaining member is provided on the vertical bar to keep the swing arm in a horizontal state. The retaining member includes a retaining frame, two locking blocks, and a retaining cylinder. A locking groove is provided on the side wall of the swing arm, and the locking groove extends in the horizontal direction. The retaining frame is slidably connected to the vertical bar along the extension direction of the locking groove. The two locking blocks correspond to the two swing arms and are provided on the retaining frame. The retaining cylinder is used to drive the retaining frame to move. When the swing arm is in a horizontal state, the locking blocks can be locked in the locking groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the swing rod is in a horizontal state, it abuts against the lower end face of the horizontal rod. At the same time, the cylinder drives the support frame to move, so that the locking block on the support frame is locked into the locking groove on the side wall of the swing rod. Through this double limiting structure, the horizontal swing rod can be firmly fixed, preventing the swing rod from shaking or deviating during the fabric feeding or conveying process. This provides stable support for the transmission roller, further ensuring the structural stability during the fabric conveying process and reducing the safety risks caused by the instability of the swing rod.

[0012] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​block is provided with a guide slope to facilitate entry into the snap-fit ​​slot.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a guide slope is opened on the snap-fit ​​block. The guide slope can play a guiding role when the snap-fit ​​block moves into the snap-fit ​​groove, so that the snap-fit ​​block can enter the snap-fit ​​groove more quickly and smoothly.

[0014] Optionally, the horizontal rod is provided with a driving component for driving the two transmission rollers to rotate. The driving component includes a worm, two worm wheels, and a driving motor. The two worm wheels correspond to the two transmission rollers and are located at one end of the transmission rollers. The length of the worm is parallel to the length direction of the horizontal rod, and the worm is rotatably connected to the horizontal rod. The driving motor is used to drive the worm to rotate. When the swing rod is in a horizontal state, the worm and the worm wheels are in a meshing state.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a driving component is set on the horizontal bar. When the swing bar is in a horizontal state, the worm in the driving component is in a meshing state with the worm wheel at one end of the transmission roller. At this time, the motor drives the worm to rotate. The worm drives the two transmission rollers to rotate synchronously through meshing with the worm wheel, providing continuous and stable power for the fabric conveying. This ensures that the fabric can be stably conveyed into the dewatering machine in the preset direction and speed, avoiding fabric accumulation or poor conveying due to lack of power, and improving the continuity and efficiency of the feeding process.

[0016] Optionally, the vertical rod is provided with a guide plate for returning the dye dripping from the fabric during the conveying process to the dewatering machine, and the height of the guide plate gradually decreases along the direction close to the dewatering machine.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a diversion plate is set on the vertical rod, and the height of the diversion plate gradually decreases along the direction close to the dewatering machine. When the fabric drips dye during the conveying process, the dye will fall onto the diversion plate. With the help of the inclined structure of the diversion plate, the dye can flow smoothly back into the dewatering machine along the diversion plate. On the one hand, this avoids the dye from dripping onto the ground and causing pollution, reducing the amount of cleaning work. On the other hand, it also realizes the recycling of dye, reduces dye waste, and saves production costs.

[0018] Optionally, the vertical rod is cylindrical, and the diversion plate is provided with a disassembly component, which includes an installation block, two arc-shaped elastic plates, and two insertion rods. The installation block is disposed on the side wall of the diversion plate, the two insertion rods are distributed vertically and are horizontally positioned, with one end of the insertion rod disposed on the installation block, the two arc-shaped elastic plates are located on both sides of the insertion rod, with one end of the arc-shaped elastic plates disposed on the installation block, and two slots are provided on the vertical rod, which are distributed vertically. The slots are used to insert the insertion rods, and the two arc-shaped elastic plates are used to clamp the side wall of the vertical rod.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, an installation block is set on the side wall of the drainage plate. The installation block is equipped with two horizontally distributed rods along the vertical direction and arc-shaped elastic plates located on both sides of the rods. During installation, the rods are inserted into the corresponding slots on the vertical rods, while the arc-shaped elastic plates clamp the side wall of the vertical rods, achieving quick fixation of the drainage plate. During disassembly, it is only necessary to overcome the clamping force of the arc-shaped elastic plates and pull out the rods. This disassembly structure does not require the use of complex tools, making it convenient for staff to install, disassemble, or maintain the drainage plate according to actual usage needs, improving the flexibility and convenience of using the drainage plate, and also facilitating the cleaning of the drainage plate to ensure its drainage effect.

[0020] Optionally, the transmission roller includes two mounting discs and several contact rollers. The two mounting discs are distributed along the width of the fabric, and the several contact rollers are located between the two mounting discs. The contact rollers are distributed circumferentially along the axis of the mounting discs, and the two ends of the contact rollers are respectively disposed on the mounting discs.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive roller is configured as two mounting discs distributed along the width of the fabric, and several contact rollers distributed circumferentially along the axis of the mounting discs and connected to the mounting discs at both ends. This multi-contact roller structure design can increase the contact area between the drive roller and the fabric, while dispersing the pressure of the fabric on the drive roller, making the fabric more stable during the conveying process, reducing wrinkles or damage to the fabric caused by excessive local stress, ensuring the integrity of the fabric, and also reducing the wear of individual contact rollers, extending the overall service life of the drive roller, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the drive roller.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The drive structure enables the swing arm to switch flexibly between horizontal and vertical states. When the swing arm is in the vertical state, the transmission roller is lowered to the lowest position. Workers do not need to climb high and can easily complete the hanging operation of the fabric on the transmission roller from the ground, thus fundamentally avoiding the risks of working at height. 2. When the swing arm is in a horizontal state, the transmission drive structure can drive the two transmission rollers to rotate synchronously through the meshing of the worm and worm wheel, providing continuous and stable power for fabric conveying; 3. An inclined guide plate is installed on the vertical rod to allow the dripping dye to flow smoothly back into the dewatering machine. This not only avoids dye contamination of the ground and reduces cleaning workload, but also realizes dye recycling and reduces production costs. Attached Figure Description
