Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for preventing falling of raw cotton in an automatic raw cotton feeding device.

In the cotton blending process, in the device that grasps a certain amount of raw cotton from above and feeds it into the creeper lattice or hopper, that is, the automatic raw cotton feeding device, the posture of the raw cotton placed on the floor determines the blending conditions and ultimately the quality of the lap. The impact is significant. In other words, the tension of unbaled raw cotton is relaxed and it expands, so it is normal.
The height will be around 1.0-1.8m. Short ones are difficult to fall over, but the base area is small, and tall raw cotton items, such as
Raw cotton over 1.5 meters in length will experience distortion (elongation and inclination) due to the relaxation of the fibers, so it will be difficult to make it stand on its own without support. Even if it were made to stand on its own, it would be extremely unstable. For this reason, when a certain amount of load is applied from above the raw cotton and the raw cotton is gripped, the raw cotton collapses or buckles, making the operation extremely difficult.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a supporting and fixing device for preventing the raw cotton from falling down and facilitating the work of setting the raw cotton in a fixed position.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base having the required size to load the required amount of raw cotton. Support rods 2, 2 are set up facing each other. This support rod 2 is provided with its lower end removably attached to a support rod mount 3.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2 and below, the support rod mount 3 has two bases 31 disposed facing each other in the base 1, and a long hole 32 is bored in the base 31. The base can be slid freely and fixed at any position by means of a fixing bolt 33 that is inserted into the interior and screwed onto the base 1 side, and the sliding direction of this base is the same as the approaching and separating direction of the opposing support rods. The slide adjustment amount is determined to be adjustable depending on the size of the raw cotton to be loaded on the pallet-like base.
Further, a bearing 34 is provided protrudingly on this base 31.
A rotating shaft 35 is supported on this bearing 34, and a ratchet gear 36 is attached to the middle part or one end of this rotating shaft 35.
Further, support rod fitting protrusions 37, 37 are integrally provided at both ends of the shaft, and a swingable ratchet pawl 38 provided on the base is engaged with the ratchet gear 36. Use one end of this ratchet claw 38 as a base.
The ratchet pawl is made to protrude slightly from the side so that when stepped on with a foot, the ratchet pawl can be oscillated to disengage from the ratchet gear, and although not shown, the ratchet pawl is used for restoring purposes, that is, to always be in mesh with the ratchet gear. Either a spring is attached to tilt the gear in the direction, or the ratchet gear is automatically tilted by its own weight.In this case, the protrusion 38a of the ratchet pawl does not necessarily need to protrude from the side surface of the base to allow foot operation. Just make it possible.

In addition, the support rod fitting protrusions 3 provided on both ends of the rotation shaft
It is preferable that 7 does not protrude from the top surface of the base 1, but as shown in the figure, it is acceptable for it to protrude a little to the extent that it does not hinder the loading of raw cotton.
In addition, the top surface of the base 1 is notched within the allowable range with respect to the sliding direction of the support rod at the support rod establishment position so that the support rod fitted thereon can be tilted outward of the base. This allows the support rod to protrude upward from the top surface of the base.

The support rods are one or a set of two, and the lower end of the pipe shape is fitted into the support rod fitting protrusion,
Its upper end is curved outward to facilitate the loading of the raw cotton onto the base, and is further curved outwardly when used as a pair, i.e. in the immediate embodiment shown, between adjacent support rods. They are connected by a crosspiece 21 to form a single body. Note that the height of the support rod is predetermined so as to be long enough to support the sides of the raw cotton mounted on the base so that the raw cotton does not fall over.

In addition, although the base is shown in the form of a pallet in the embodiment, it may be a base fixed to the factory floor.Furthermore, wheels may be provided on the bottom surface of the base 1, thereby making it easy to move. Be able to do it.

The apparatus configured as described above has the following effects.

(1) The spacing between the support rods can be adjusted by moving the base according to the width of the raw cotton bale, so it can be applied regardless of the type and shape of the raw cotton.

(2) Since the support rod can be removed from the base according to the height of the raw cotton, that is, from the support rod fitting protrusion provided on the base, there is no obstruction when handling low-height raw cotton bales, and work efficiency is improved. improves.

(3) By stepping on the ratchet pawl with your foot, you can release the meshing relationship with the ratchet gear, and by rotating the rotation shaft, you can lower the support rod to the floor. It can be carried to the side of the base, improving work efficiency.

(4) The support rod is fitted and supported by a rotating shaft equipped with a ratchet-type feed mechanism and is tiltable, making it possible to correct the inclination of the raw cotton bales in stages. Setting the bales becomes easy.
