Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of recycling and remanufacturing of metal rubber vibration damping devices in rail transit, and specifically provides a method for heating and recycling a metal skeleton under a pressurized state. Background Art

[0002] In the rail transit sector, vehicle bogies incorporate composite vibration damping components made of a vulcanized metal-rubber composite. These components utilize the rubber's flexible deformation to provide flexible support for locomotive operation, dampen vibrations within the vehicle body, and enhance both vehicle performance and passenger comfort. Common rail-use metal-rubber vibration damping components include conical springs, rubber ball joints, rubber joints, and rubber rods. These metal-rubber composite components typically consist of a vulcanized connection between metal and rubber components, leveraging the rubber's high elasticity and strength to provide support and rigidity.

[0003] In actual application, metal-rubber vulcanizates are wearing parts and often need to be replaced as a whole after long-term operation. In metal-rubber vulcanizates, the rubber part is generally damaged due to aging and failure, while the metal part still has value for recycling and remanufacturing. The recycling of the metal skeleton of metal-rubber composite shock absorbers is of great significance to environmental protection, material reuse, resource conservation and technological innovation.

[0004] In the prior art, commonly used metal skeleton recycling methods include: 1) electromagnetic induction heating method, specifically using an electromagnetic induction heating device to heat the metal components in the metal-rubber composite product to a specific temperature, so that the adhesive between the metal component and the rubber component is ineffective, thereby achieving lossless separation of the rubber component from the metal component; 2) pyrolysis method, specifically placing the metal and rubber composite product in a reactor and heating it at the bottom of the reactor. After the rubber part is vaporized, it is condensed into fuel and discharged through a condenser. After the reaction is complete, it is naturally cooled, the metal component is removed, and the carbon particles attached to the surface are removed; 3) mechanical separation method, specifically peeling the metal skeleton and the rubber part by hand or mechanical tools; 4) incineration method, specifically based on the combustible nature of rubber and non-combustible nature of metal, the composite product is incinerated and the metal component is removed from the residual ash; 5) solvent dissolution method, specifically using a specific solvent to dissolve the rubber part.
