Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plastic recycling, in particular to a plastic recycling method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, plastic products have been widely used in daily life due to their advantages such as lightness, durability and low cost, and the consumption of plastics has increased dramatically. However, the problem of plastic pollution has become increasingly serious, especially polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Discarded PET bottles are not easy to degrade in the natural environment. During the degradation period, they will gradually break into tiny particles and enter the soil, water sources and even the food chain. If these PET bottles are not properly handled, they will pose a great threat to the ecological environment. Therefore, a practical and efficient plastic recycling method is very important.

[0003] Early PET plastic bottle recycling mainly relied on manual sorting and simple cleaning processes. The plastic film on the plastic bottles was only removed and cleaned without cutting the plastic bottles, which was very unfavorable for later reuse. In addition, due to the immature technology, the recycling rate was low, and the efficiency of cleaning and label removal was limited, resulting in many bottles containing residues that could not be recycled.

[0004] Traditional PET plastic bottle recycling technology uses an assembly line to remove the film, cut, crush and clean the plastic bottles, breaking the plastic bottles into plastic sheets. However, during the cutting process, plastic bottles with contents still need to be manually handled. If the contents are not completely removed before cutting, the cutting process of the plastic bottles will be greatly affected, and the cutting equipment may be damaged, affecting the overall recycling.

[0005] Existing PET plastic bottle recycling technology can achieve simple automatic removal of the contents of plastic bottles, but it cannot implement different removal strategies according to the type of contents, and cannot effectively remove the contents of plastic bottles. Therefore, for certain types of contents, the removal efficiency is low, which increases the workload of recycling. Summary of the invention

[0105] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0106] 1. The plastic recycling method can significantly improve the recycling efficiency through a step-by-step processing flow. First, the plastic bottles are subjected to the first film removal treatment to ensure that most of the labels and packaging films are removed, thereby reducing the burden of subsequent processing. Secondly, the manual film removal is supplemented to ensure that the residual plastic film can be effectively removed even when the automated processing is insufficient. This layered film removal treatment method reduces the impact of the plastic film on the subsequent cleaning and crushing links, making the final plastic sheets purer and improving the quality of the recycled materials.

[0107] 2. The plastic recycling method determines whether there are contents in the plastic bottles after removing the film from the plastic bottles and before crushing the plastic bottles. For plastic bottles without contents, the bottles are directly crushed. For plastic bottles with contents, the contents are first removed. After ensuring that the contents are completely removed, the plastic bottles are crushed to ensure that the crushing equipment is not affected by the contents during the crushing process, thereby improving the recycling efficiency.

[0108] 3. This plastic recycling method, by setting a pressure sensor, obtains the position change of the contents of the plastic bottle during the rotation of the abnormal plastic bottle, and then determines the type of the contents. This method enables the recycling process to accurately identify the type of plastic bottle contents, such as liquid, solid or mixture, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of removing the contents, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency.

[0109] 4. This plastic recycling method implements different removal strategies for different types of contents. On the premise of ensuring that the contents are completely removed, the removal operation is more targeted, avoiding unnecessary waste of resources, reducing the overall removal cost, and also reducing the losses caused by improper removal.

[0110] 5. This plastic recycling method sets the water temperature in the No. 1 water pool to 70 degrees Celsius. High-temperature cleaning can effectively remove grease, tape residues and other difficult-to-clean pollutants on the surface of the plastic sheets, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Further cleaning with low-temperature water at 20 degrees Celsius helps to remove residual impurities, ensure the purity of the plastic sheets, and improve the quality of recycled materials.

[0114] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0116] The collected plastic bottles are recorded as a type of plastic bottles;

[0117] The plastic film of a type of plastic bottle is subjected to a first de-filming treatment;

[0120] If the plastic film of a type of plastic bottle is not completely removed, the plastic film of the type of plastic bottle is removed manually;

[0121] The first type of plastic bottles after the plastic film is removed are recorded as second type of plastic bottles;

[0122] If there is no content in the second type of plastic bottle, the second type of plastic bottle is crushed to form plastic flakes;

[0125] Determine the type of contents in abnormal plastic bottles;

[0126] Develop a removal strategy based on the type of contents in the abnormal plastic bottle;

[0127] The abnormal plastic bottles that have completed the removal strategy are crushed to form plastic flakes;

[0128] The plastic sheets are cleaned and collected;

[0129] Drying the cleaned plastic sheets;

[0130] The recycling efficiency can be significantly improved through a step-by-step treatment process. First, the plastic bottles are de-filmed for the first time to ensure that most of the labels and packaging films are removed, thereby reducing the burden of subsequent processing. Secondly, manual de-filming is supplemented to ensure that the residual plastic film can be effectively removed even when automated processing is insufficient. This layered de-filming treatment method reduces the impact of plastic film on subsequent cleaning and crushing steps, making the final plastic sheets purer and improving the quality of recycled materials.

[0131] The method of determining the type of content in the abnormal plastic bottle is as follows:

[0132] Reference Figure 1 , a plurality of pressure sensors are arranged at the contact position between the clamping device and the abnormal plastic bottle, and the distance between two adjacent pressure sensors is the same;

[0133] Get the number of pressure sensors, which is recorded as N;

[0134] Pick up abnormal plastic bottles;

[0135] Turn the abnormal plastic bottle so that the clamped abnormal plastic bottle is in a horizontal state, ensuring that the content of the abnormal plastic bottle remains stationary in the abnormal plastic bottle;

[0136] The N pressure sensors are named the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the third pressure sensor, and the Nth pressure sensor in order from near to far according to their distance from the mouth of the abnormal plastic bottle;

[0137] The pressure values ​​of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the third pressure sensor, ... the Nth pressure sensor are obtained respectively and recorded as A1, A2, A3, ... A N ;

[0138] Turn the abnormal plastic bottle clockwise;

[0139] When the clockwise rotation angle is equal to 90 degrees and the mouth of the abnormal plastic bottle is located directly below the bottom of the abnormal plastic bottle, stop the clockwise rotation;

[0140] The abnormal plastic bottle is rotated counterclockwise at a constant speed of 180 degrees per second, and the abnormal plastic bottle is rotated at a faster speed to reset the abnormal plastic bottle, so that the movable contents in the abnormal plastic bottle are continuously moved after the abnormal plastic bottle is reset, resulting in the pressure values ​​of each pressure sensor being continuously changed, and the type of the contents is determined according to the type of change;

[0141] When the counterclockwise rotation angle reaches 90 degrees and the abnormal plastic bottle is completely reset, stop rotating;

[0142] The moment when the abnormal plastic bottle completes the reset is recorded as time 0, and time T and time Q are set. At time T, the content in the abnormal plastic bottle is not completely still, and at time Q, the content in the abnormal plastic bottle is completely still, Q>T;

[0143] Respectively obtain the pressure values ​​of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the third pressure sensor ... the Nth pressure sensor at time 0, time (1÷4)T, time (2÷4)T, time (3÷4)T and time T;

[0144] At time Q, the pressure values ​​of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the third pressure sensor, ... the Nth pressure sensor are obtained respectively, and are recorded as B1, B2, B3, ... B N ;

[0145] Obtain the absolute values ​​|B1-A1|, |B2-A2|, |B3-A3|, ... |B N -A N|, absolute value |B1-A1|, |B2-A2|, |B3-A3|, ... |B N -A N |The function is to determine whether the pressure value of each pressure sensor changes after two rotations. If the pressure value is small, it does not change. If the pressure value is large, it changes.

[0146] The type of the content in the abnormal plastic bottle is determined based on the pressure value obtained.

[0147] The method of determining the type of the contents in the abnormal plastic bottle further includes:

[0148] Set the pressure value threshold Z1 and the numerical threshold Z2. The function of the threshold Z1 is to judge whether there is content. When the abnormal plastic bottle is in a horizontal state, the pressure value generated by the abnormal plastic bottle's own weight is Z1. When the pressure value is greater than Z1, it means that there is content in the abnormal plastic bottle. The function of the threshold Z2 is to judge whether the pressure values ​​of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the third pressure sensor...the Nth pressure sensor are roughly equal. When the pressure values ​​A1, A2, A3...A N With A1, A2, A3...A N When the average of the squares of the differences in the averages is less than or equal to Z2, A1, A2, A3, ... N Roughly equal; when pressure values ​​A1, A2, A3...A N With A1, A2, A3...A N When the average of the squares of the differences in the mean values ​​is greater than Z2, A1, A2, A3, ... N Not all are equal;

[0149] Calculate A1, A2, A3, ... A N The average value of

[0150] Calculate A1, A2, A3, ... A respectively N The square of the difference from the mean;

[0151] Get the average value of all squares, and record the average value of squares as A;

[0152] If the pressure value of the pressure sensor at time 0 ≠ (1÷4)T, the pressure value at time (1÷4)T ≠ (2÷4)T, the pressure value at time (2÷4)T ≠ (3÷4)T, and the pressure value at time (3÷4)T ≠ T, it means that the pressure values ​​of the pressure sensor at time 0, (1÷4)T, (2÷4)T, (3÷4)T, and T are constantly changing; the changes in the pressure values ​​of the pressure sensor at time 0, (1÷4)T, (2÷4)T, (3÷4)T, and T are recorded as a type of change;

[0153] If the pressure value of the pressure sensor at time 0 = (1÷4)T, the pressure value at time (1÷4)T = the pressure value at time (2÷4)T, the pressure value at time (2÷4)T = the pressure value at time (3÷4)T, and the pressure value at time (3÷4)T = the pressure value at time T, it means that the pressure values ​​of the pressure sensor at time 0, time (1÷4)T, time (2÷4)T, time (3÷4)T, and time T have not changed; the changes in the pressure values ​​of the pressure sensor at time 0, time (1÷4)T, time (2÷4)T, time (3÷4)T, and time T are recorded as the second type of changes;

[0154] If the pressure value change of the pressure sensor is neither a first-class change nor a second-class change, the pressure value changes of the pressure sensor at time 0, time (1÷4)T, time (2÷4)T, time (3÷4)T, and time T are recorded as third-class changes;

[0155] If A1, A2, A3...A N All>Z1, absolute value |B1-A1|, |B2-A2|, |B3-A3|...|B N -A N | are all ≤Z2 and A ≤Z2, and the pressure value changes of the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, the third pressure sensor ... the Nth pressure sensor at time 0, time (1÷4)T, time (2÷4)T, time (3÷4)T and time T are all of the same type, indicating that the content is only liquid. The content in the abnormal plastic bottle is recorded as the first type of content and the first removal strategy is executed;

[0156] If A1, A2, A3...A N If there is a pressure value greater than Z1 and A greater than Z2, the pressure sensor with a pressure value greater than Z1 is recorded as an abnormal pressure sensor. If among all abnormal pressure sensors, there is a pressure sensor whose pressure value changes at time 0, (1÷4)T, (2÷4)T, (3÷4)T, and T are Class II changes, and there is no abnormal pressure sensor whose pressure value changes at time 0, (1÷4)T, (2÷4)T, (3÷4)T, and T are Class III changes, it means that the contents contain solids but all solids are movable and not adhered to the abnormal plastic bottle. The contents in the abnormal plastic bottle are recorded as Class II contents and the second removal strategy is executed.

[0157] If among all abnormal pressure sensors, there are pressure sensors whose pressure values ​​at time 0, time (1÷4)T, time (2÷4)T, time (3÷4)T, and time T change into the second category, the contents in the abnormal plastic bottle are recorded as the third category contents and the third removal strategy is executed;

[0158] By setting up a pressure sensor, the position change of the contents of the plastic bottle during the rotation of the abnormal plastic bottle can be obtained, and the type of the contents can be determined. This method enables the recycling process to accurately identify the type of plastic bottle contents, such as liquid, solid or mixture, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of removing the contents, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency.

[0160] Get the bottle mouth position of the abnormal plastic bottle;

[0161] The position 3 cm away from the bottle mouth on the body of the abnormal plastic bottle is recorded as the clamping position;

[0169] Remove the contents of the abnormal plastic bottle through the bottom of the abnormal plastic bottle. If the contents are liquid, just turn the abnormal plastic bottle to make it flow out.

[0170] When a type of content does not exist in the abnormal plastic bottle;

[0171] Stop gripping and release the abnormal plastic bottle;

[0172] The released abnormal plastic bottles will be crushed.

[0173] The contents in the abnormal plastic bottle are recorded as Class II contents and the second removal strategy is implemented, specifically:

[0178] Then remove the caps of abnormal plastic bottles;

[0179] When the abnormal plastic bottle does not have a cap;

[0180] Cut off the bottom of the abnormal plastic bottle;
