The pushing unit 22 (pushing plate 35) is moved back and forth through the.

  The other lever 65 has a proximal end attached coaxially to the cam 55 and a distal end protruding upwardly (including substantially perpendicular) to the drive shaft 50. Therefore, each lever 64 and each lever 65 is 90 ° out of phase when reciprocating with respect to the rotation of the cam 55 in the present embodiment. The timing at the end of the range of reciprocation is shifted by 1/4 of the rotation cycle of the drive shaft 50. This shift in cycle can be arbitrarily set as long as the real cotton C can be separated into the cotton fibers F and the seeds S. . The distal end portion of each lever 65 is rotatably supported with respect to the bracket 69, and the bracket 69 is integrally fixed to the protruding connection portion 44. Therefore, each lever 65 reciprocates in the vertical direction due to the eccentric rotation of the cam 55 accompanying the rotation of the drive shaft 50, and the reciprocating motion is transmitted to the protrusion connecting portion 44 by the bracket 69. 23 (protrusion plate 43) is moved up and down.

  Accordingly, the drive shaft 50 provided with each pulley 53, 54, the cam 55, the pulley 59, the endless bodies 58, 60, the levers 64, 65, the link 67, etc., transmit the power of the single motor 4 to the roller 21, A transmission mechanism 70 that links the push-in unit 22 and the push-up unit 23 is configured.

  The cotton fiber discharge part 5 is located on the front side of the housing 2. In the present embodiment, the cotton fiber discharge portion 5 is rotatably supported with respect to the frame 10 of the housing 2 and can be switched between a storage state and a use state by rotation. Specifically, the cotton fiber discharge portion 5 can open and close the discharge port 71 opened at the front portion of the housing 2 by turning, and in the storage position where the discharge port 71 is closed, On the other hand, it is held by holding means 72 such as a magnet, and is flush with the front decorative plate 11 (including substantially flush). And this cotton fiber discharge | release part 5 can be rotated in the front-back direction by canceling | releasing the holding | maintenance by the holding means 72, and in the use state rotated to the front side, ie, the direction which protrudes from the housing | casing 2. The cotton fiber F is discharged together with the discharge guide portion 73 from the discharge port 71 to the outside of the housing 2 by acting as a discharge guide body (chute) continuous with the discharge guide portion 73 disposed below the roller 21. It has become.

  The discharge guide portion 73 is attached to the frame 10 of the housing 2 and is formed so as to be inclined forward and downward toward the discharge port 71 along the tangential direction of the roller 21. A seed guide body 75 that guides the seed S to the seed discharge section 6 is attached to the back side, that is, the rear side of the discharge guide section 73. The seed guide body 75 is formed to be inclined downward toward the rear side intersecting the discharge guide portion 73, and the tip portion extends to the upper front side of the seed discharge portion 6.

  The seed discharge unit 6 is located on the rear side of the housing 2. That is, the seed discharge part 6 is located on the opposite side of the casing 2 from the cotton fiber discharge part 5. This seed discharge part 6 is a seed receiving part which receives the seed S separated by the separation part 3, and is a carriage in the present embodiment. That is, the seed discharge unit 6 includes a box-shaped storage unit 77 that stores the seed S separated by the separation unit 3, and a plurality of casters 78 for running the storage unit 77. This seed discharge part 6 is arrange | positioned at the rear lower part of the housing | casing 2, for example. And this seed discharge part 6 can be taken in / out with respect to the rear part of the housing | casing 2 by removing the decorative board 11 of the rear part of the housing | casing 2, for example. Further, the insertion limit position of the seed discharge unit 6 with respect to the housing 2 is set by the reinforcing structure 79. The reinforcing structure 79 is a beam member disposed along the lateral width direction between the frames 10 of the housing 2, for example, and is disposed behind the motor 4, for example. And this reinforcement structure 79 positions the seed discharge part 6 by acting as a stopper of the seed discharge part 6 inserted from back with respect to the housing | casing 2. FIG.

  Next, the operation of the cotton gin 1 will be described.

  As preparation before use, the operator turns the cotton fiber discharge portion 5 in the stored state forward to the use state (shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1), and the front side of the cotton fiber discharge portion 5 A cotton fiber receiver such as a box (not shown) is disposed below.

  And if an operator operates the operation part 13, the rotating shaft of the motor 4 will rotate because the cotton gin 1 drives the motor 4. FIG. Then, when the pulley 57 attached to the rotating shaft of the motor 4 rotates, the rotation of the pulley 57 is transmitted to the pulley 53 of the driving shaft 50 by the endless body 58, and the driving shaft 50 rotates. When the drive shaft 50 rotates, the rotation of the other pulley 54 of the drive shaft 50 is transmitted to the pulley 59 by the endless body 60, and the roller 21 rotates in the direction of the arrow X shown in FIG. ). When the drive shaft 50 rotates, the cam 55 attached to the drive shaft 50 rotates eccentrically, whereby the lever 64 reciprocates left and right and the lever 65 reciprocates up and down. For this reason, the push-in connecting portion 36 connected to the lever 64 via the link 67 moves back and forth with the rotation shaft 40 as a fulcrum, and the protrusion connection portion 44 connected to the lever 65 via the bracket 69 rotates. It moves up and down with the shaft 46 as a fulcrum. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the push-in unit 22 and the push-up unit 23 are linked to each other, and the push-up unit 23 is in a substantially neutral position at the position where the push-in unit 22 is moved to the roller 21 side to the maximum. As unit 22 moves to the opposite side of roller 21 and reaches a substantially neutral position, ascending unit 23 moves maximum to the lower side, and pushing unit 22 moves further to the opposite side of roller 21 to the maximum. As a result, the thrust unit 23 rises to a substantially neutral position, and as the push-in unit 22 moves to the roller 21 side to reach the substantially neutral position, the thrust unit 23 moves to the maximum at the upper side. That is, the push-in unit 22 and the push-up unit 23 are interlocked so that when one is in a substantially neutral position, the other is positioned at the end of the operation range.

  In this operation state, when an operator inputs the actual cotton C from the input unit 12, the actual cotton C drops along the guide surface 15 and the pushing unit 22 moves back and forth below the guide surface 15. Are pushed into the blade 20 and the roller 21 by the pushing plate 35. The cotton fiber F of the actual cotton C is sandwiched between the cutting edge portion 20a of the blade 20 and the roller 21, pulled by the rotation of the roller 21, pressed against the cutting edge portion 20a of the blade 20, and By being pushed up by the protrusion plate 43 of the protrusion unit 23 that moves up and down on the rear side of the blade edge portion 20a, it is cut by the blade edge portion 20a of the blade 20 and is carried forward along the outer periphery of the roller 21 away from the blade 20. It is. Then, the cotton fiber F is carried about half a circumference along the outer periphery of the roller 21 and falls to the discharge guide portion 73 shown in FIG. 1, and the discharge guide portion 73 and the cotton fiber discharged in use are discharged. It slides down along the portion 5 and is discharged from the discharge port 71 to the front of the housing 2.

  On the other hand, the seed S from which the cotton fiber F has been peeled off falls from the hole 17 opened in the bottom 16 of the feeding part 12 and is separated from the seed discharge part 6 by the seed guide part 43b and the seed guide body 75 of the protrusion plate 43. And is received by the storage unit 77 of the seed discharge unit 6 and stored in the storage unit 77.

  In this way, the operator sequentially separates the cotton fibers F from the rear side of the casing 2 into the input section 12 in order to automatically separate the cotton fibers F in front of the casing 2. Seeds S can be stored on the rear side, that is, on the worker side.

  When the separation of the actual cotton C is completed, the operator operates the operation unit 13 to stop the operation of the cotton gin 1. Then, the cotton fibers F stored in the cotton fiber receiver are transported together with the cotton fiber receiver, and the seeds S stored in the seed discharge section 6 are removed from the seed discharge section 6 by removing the decorative plate 11 of the casing 2. It can be transported by taking it out of the housing 2. The cotton fiber discharge portion 5 can be brought into a housed state by being rotated toward the housing 2 and held by the holding means 72.

  As described above, the separation unit 3 for separating the real cotton C into the cotton fibers F and the seeds S is arranged in the housing 2, and the separation unit 3 is driven by the motor 4, so that It is possible to efficiently separate the cotton C into the cotton fibers F and the seeds S simply by adding the cotton C.

  Specifically, the separating unit 3 is thrown into the throwing unit 12 with the blade 20 disposed facing the throwing unit 12, the roller 21 disposed on the opposite side of the throwing unit 12 with respect to the blade 20. A pressing unit 22 that pushes the actual cotton C toward the roller 21 and a push-up unit 23 that pushes the actual cotton C loaded into the loading portion 12 in a direction toward the blade edge 20a of the blade 20 are configured. The cotton fiber F of the actual cotton C pushed by the pushing unit 22 is drawn between the blade edge portion 20a of the blade 20 and the roller 21 by rotating opposite to the blade edge portion 20a of the blade 20 and the blade edge portion of the blade 20 The cotton fiber F can be peeled off from the seed S between the 20a and the protrusion unit 23, and can be easily separated into the cotton fiber F and the seed S.

  In particular, if the roller 21 rotates in sliding contact with the cutting edge 20a of the blade 20, the cotton C is efficiently separated into the cotton fiber F and the seed S, and the cotton fiber F is separated from the roller 21. It can be more efficiently pulled into the blade edge portion 20a.

  In addition, since the separating unit 3 presses the actual cotton C against the roller 21 by the operation of each unit 22 and 23 or cuts the cotton fiber F between the blades 20, the size of the actual cotton C and the cotton fiber F It is possible to separate the cotton fiber F and the seed S by the same operation even if the length of the cotton is different, and adjustment according to the type of the actual cotton C or the like is unnecessary.

  Further, the cotton gin 1 covers the roller 21 of the separation unit 3 and the units 22 and 23 that are driven and operated by the casing 2, and therefore has a configuration in consideration of the safety of the operator.

  The power of the single motor 4 is transmitted by the transmission mechanism 70, and the roller 21, the pushing unit 22, and the protrusion unit 23 are interlocked, so that the separation unit 3 can be operated without using a plurality of driving sources and power. It can be easily driven with a small and simple configuration.

  Further, by making the contact strength between the blade 20 and the roller 21 adjustable by the adjusting means 31, the pulling of the cotton fiber F of the actual cotton C between the blade edge portion 20a of the blade 20 and the roller 21 can be adjusted. Therefore, the real cotton C can be more efficiently separated into the cotton fiber F and the seed S.

  Further, the cotton fiber F separated by the separation unit 3 can be discharged to the outside of the housing 2 by the cotton fiber discharge unit 5, and the seed S separated by the separation unit 3 can be discharged from the case 2 by the seed discharge unit 6. By making it possible to discharge to the outside, the separated cotton fibers F and seeds S can be easily taken out from the housing 2.

  Further, by positioning the cotton fiber discharge part 5 and the seed discharge part 6 on the opposite sides of the casing 2, they are prevented from being biased to one side of the casing 2, and the space of the casing 2 is made efficient. The cotton fiber discharge part 5 and the seed discharge part 6 can be arranged by using well, and the cotton gin 1 can be configured more compactly.

  Further, the cotton fiber discharge portion 5 can be selectively switched between the housed state and the used state with respect to the housing 2, and acts as a discharge guide body that guides the discharge of the cotton fibers F from the housing 2 in the used state. By doing so, the cotton fiber F can be efficiently discharged, and when the cotton gin 1 is not used, the cotton fiber discharge portion 5 can be stored in a compact state in the storage state.

  Further, by arranging the seed discharge unit 6 on the rear side which is one side of the housing 2, the motor 4 is arranged on the front side which is the other side opposite to the seed discharge unit 6 of the housing 2, The motor 4 can be arranged by effectively using the dead space on the other side of the seed discharge unit 6, and the cotton gin 1 can be configured in a compact manner.

  Furthermore, since the seed discharge unit 6 is a seed receiving unit that can be taken in and out of the housing 2 and receives the seed S separated by the separation unit 3, the seed discharge unit 6 is not scattered. When the cotton gin 1 is not used, the seed discharge unit 6 can be stored in the housing 2 and can be stored compactly.

  As described above, by configuring the cotton gin 1 in a compact manner and making the motor 4 operable by a household power source, the range of environments in which the cotton gin 1 can be used can be expanded.

  In particular, in the case of the cotton gin 1 of the present embodiment in which the input unit 12 is located closer to the rear side of the housing 2, the operator normally inputs the actual cotton C into the input unit 12 from the rear side of the housing 2. Therefore, there is a space in front of the housing 2, but it is difficult to take a space behind the housing 2. For this reason, the cotton fiber discharge section 5 that discharges the cotton fibers F discharges the cotton fibers F from the front side of the casing 2, which is the opposite side to the input section 12, to the front of the casing 2. The cotton fiber F can be easily taken out without accessing the inside of the body 2, and the seed discharge part 6 for storing the seed S is positioned on the rear side in the housing 2, so that the operator can make the real cotton C. It is difficult to disturb the input work.

  Further, the reinforcing reinforcing structure 79 provided in the casing 2 acts as a stopper for setting the insertion limit position of the seed discharge section 6 with respect to the casing 2, so that a dedicated structure for positioning the seed discharge section 6 is used. The seed discharge part 6 can be effectively positioned using the reinforcing structure of the housing 2 by the reinforcing structure 79 without forming a configuration.

  And since the seed discharge part 6 is a trolley | bogie, after taking out the seed discharge part 6 with the seed S from the housing | casing 2, it can carry easily as it is.

  In each of the above embodiments, the transmission mechanism 70 is not limited to the above configuration, and can be arbitrarily configured using an appropriate cam, link mechanism, or the like.

  Further, the roller 21, the pushing unit 22, and the protrusion unit 23 are not limited to the configuration driven by the single motor 4, and may be driven using separate motors or the like.

  Furthermore, the cotton fiber discharge part 5 is comprised as a cotton fiber receiving part which receives the cotton fiber F, for example, and is good also as taking in / out with respect to the housing | casing 2. FIG.

  Moreover, the seed discharge part 6 can also be used as a saucer-shaped seed receiving part etc. instead of a trolley | bogie.
