DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to further understand the features, technical means and specific purposes and functions achieved by the present application, the present application will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] As Figures 1-11 shown in the drawings, the injection molding equipment for plastic automobile ornament production comprises an injection machine 1, an online recycling mechanism 2 arranged beside the injection machine 1, a main screw, a secondary screw, an injection housing 3 and a molding die 4, a double-channel melt cavity arranged in the injection housing 3 and respectively serving as a main flow channel 5 of new material and a waste material return cavity 6, the main screw being located in the main flow channel 5 of new material and the secondary screw being located in the waste material return cavity 6, the two channels being converged in a 30° Y shape at the end, the converging position being located in the mixing section of the main flow channel 5 of new material, a proportioning mechanism being arranged on the waste material return cavity 6, the online recycling mechanism 2 comprising a waste material conveying belt 7, a crushing mechanism and a conveying device, the waste material conveying belt 7 being located below the molding die 4, the end of the waste material conveying belt 7 being communicated with the feeding end of the crushing mechanism, the crushing mechanism being provided with a magnetic separation impurity removal device 8, and the discharging end of the crushing mechanism being communicated with the proportioning mechanism through the conveying device.

[0021] The device realizes injection molding of plastic automobile ornaments by injection machine 1, and realizes waste recycling by combining with online recycling mechanism 2. New material main runner 5 (main screw) and waste return cavity 6 (auxiliary screw) are arranged in injection housing 3 of injection machine 1. New material is plasticized and melted under the action of the main screw and is conveyed along new material main runner 5. The waste generated by molding mold 4 is sent to the crushing mechanism for crushing, and after magnetic separation and impurity removal, it is sent to the batching mechanism through the conveying device. The waste after batching is melted under the action of the auxiliary screw and is conveyed along the waste return cavity 6. The two channels are converged to the mixing section at the end in the form of 30° Y type, so as to realize the uniform mixing of new material and recycled waste and then injection into the mold for molding. The double-channel solution cavity and the Y-type convergence structure realize the online fusion of new material and recycled waste, greatly improve the utilization rate of plastic waste, and reduce the production cost. The online recycling mechanism 2 operates in a closed loop, reduces the waste transportation and storage links, and improves the production continuity. The magnetic separation and impurity removal device 8 removes the metal impurities in the waste in advance, so as to ensure the quality of the molded products.

[0022] The magnetic separation and impurity removal device 8 comprises an inclined feeding channel 9, a magnetic separation plate 10, a scraper 11, a storage chamber 12 and a pushing device. The inclined feeding channel 9 is laterally provided with an inclined slide 13. The pushing device is in transmission connection with the scraper 11. The scraper 11 is rotatably installed above the magnetic separation plate 10. The scraper 11 is fixedly installed on a transmission rod 14. The transmission rod 14 is slidably arranged on the inclined slide 13. The inclined angles of the inclined slide 13 and the magnetic separation plate 10 are consistent with the inclined angle of the inclined feeding channel 9. The inlet end of the storage chamber 12 is in communication with the side wall of the top end of the inclined feeding channel 9. The end of the inclined feeding channel 9 is in communication with the inlet end of the crushing mechanism.

[0023] When the magnetic separation and impurity removal device 8 works, the crushed waste slides along the inclined feeding channel 9. The magnetic separation plate 10 generates a magnetic field to attract the metal impurities in the waste. The initial state of the scraper 11 is inclined, which is consistent with the inclined angle of the magnetic separation plate 10, so as to avoid interfering with the conveying of the waste. After the pushing device is started, it first drives the scraper 11 to rotate 90° around the transmission rod 14, so that the scraper 11 changes from the inclined state to the state perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic separation plate 10, and ensures that the edge of the scraper 11 closely contacts the magnetic separation plate 10. Then the pushing device drives the scraper 11 to displace along the inclined slide 13 in the inclined direction of the magnetic separation plate 10, so as to completely scrape off the attracted metal impurities to the storage chamber 12 to complete the discharging. After the discharging is completed, the pushing device starts to reset: it first drives the scraper 11 to reverse 90°, so that the scraper 11 returns to the initial state consistent with the inclined angle of the magnetic separation plate 10, and then drives the scraper 11 to retreat to the original position along the inclined slide 13, so as to avoid the scraper 11 contacting the magnetic separation plate 10 to bring back the residual impurities during the resetting process, and to avoid blocking the feeding process by avoiding the waste during the subsequent feeding process. The scraper 11 can scrape off the metal impurities attracted on the magnetic separation plate 10. When the scraper 11 is reset, it first changes to the inclined state and then retreats, which reduces the contact area with the magnetic separation plate 10 and avoids bringing back the unscraped impurities to the waste flow, so as to ensure the purity of the waste after the impurities are removed.

[0024] To ensure the movement of the scraper 11 driven by the pushing device, the pushing device includes a linear actuator 15, a rotating mounting base 16, and a hinged push rod 17. The linear actuator 15 is mounted on the outside of the crushing device via the rotating mounting base 16. The output end of the linear actuator 15 is connected to the hinged push rod 17. One end of the transmission rod 14 is hinged to the end of the hinged push rod 17 away from the linear actuator 15 via a shaft sleeve 18. A rectangular limiting block 19 is provided in the inclined slide 13. The rectangular limiting block 19 is hinged to the transmission rod 14, and a horizontal limiting plate 20 is fixedly installed on the rectangular limiting block 19. Limit sleeves 21 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rod 14. Two angle limit plates 22 set at 90° are fixedly installed on the limit sleeves 21. Springs 23 and locking blocks 24 are provided at both ends of the inclined slide 13. The inclined slide 13 is provided with a clearance groove 25 for avoiding the locking blocks 24. The clearance groove 25 is in the same direction as the inclined slide 13. The locking blocks 24 are slidably disposed in the clearance groove 25. The two ends of the second spring 23 are fixedly connected to the clearance groove 25 and the locking blocks 24 respectively. Each angle limit plate 22 is provided with an elastic metal buckle 26 that engages with the end of the horizontal limit plate 20.

[0025] like Figures 4-6 The output end of the linear actuator 15 shown drives the transmission rod 14 to move via the hinged push rod 17. The transmission rod 14 slides along the inclined slide rail 13. The rectangular limit block 19 guides and limits the displacement of the transmission rod 14. The limit sleeves 21 at both ends of the transmission rod 14 and the angle limit plate 22 control the rotation angle of the scraper 11. When it is in contact with the horizontal limit plate 20, it can limit the rotation angle of the transmission rod 14, ensuring that the scraper 11 can both stick to the magnetic separation plate 10 to scrape impurities when sliding and lift up during the return trip to avoid bringing back impurities.

[0026] In the initial state, the scraper 11 is arranged obliquely, one of the angle limiting plates 22 on the scraper 11 is in abutment with the horizontal limiting plate 20 arranged on the rectangular limiting block 19, the elastic metal buckle 26 on the angle limiting plate 22 is in clamping connection with the horizontal limiting plate 20, and at this time, the clamping block 24 is in a pop-up state, used for blocking and limiting the rectangular limiting block 19, when the linear driver 15 outputs, due to the blocking of the clamping block 24, the transmission rod 14 rotates by 90 degrees after overcoming the clamping connection between the elastic metal buckle 26 and the horizontal limiting plate 20, so that the transmission rod 14 drives the scraper 11 to rotate by 90 degrees to a state perpendicular to the magnetic separation plate 10, at this time, the other angle limiting plate 22 is in abutment with the horizontal limiting plate 20, limiting the deflection angle, and the elastic metal buckle 26 on the angle limiting plate 22 is locked with the other end of the horizontal limiting plate 20, so as to realize a new angle locking relationship and increase the driving force, the rectangular limiting block 19 overcomes the blocking of the clamping block 24, forcing the clamping block 24 to be compressed downwardly to displace the second spring 23, and the clamping block 24 is pressed into the avoiding groove 25 for avoiding. Then, the linear driver 15 drives the scraper 11 and the transmission rod 14 to displace synchronously, so as to realize the scraping work of the scraper 11 on the magnetic separation plate 10. When resetting, the other spring 23 and the clamping block 24 are blocked (equivalent to the previous one during pushing, so the angle of the scraper 11 does not change), forcing the elastic metal buckle 26 clamped with the horizontal limiting plate 20 to be unlocked, the transmission rod 14 is rotated by 90 degrees under the action of the pulling force of the hinged push rod 17, until the scraper 11 is parallel to the magnetic separation plate 10, and then is reset along the inclined slide 13, realizing the resetting function.

[0027] As Figures 1-6 shown in the first embodiment of the application, the crushing device is a double-roller crushing device, which comprises a crushing chamber 27, a crushing driver 28 and a crushing roller 29 arranged in the crushing chamber 27, the crushing driver 28 is in transmission connection with the crushing roller 29, and the lower part of the crushing chamber 27 is communicated with a batching mechanism through a pneumatic conveying mechanism 30.

[0028] The double-roller crushing device is used for crushing plastic waste. The crushing driver 28 drives the crushing roller 29 in the crushing chamber 27 to rotate relatively, and the waste is crushed by being extruded and sheared by the double rollers after entering the crushing chamber 27; the crushed waste is conveyed through the pneumatic conveying mechanism 30 (such as an air flow pipeline) below the crushing chamber 27, and the waste particles are sent to the batching mechanism by means of air flow power. The crushing function of the waste is realized, and the waste particles are transported back.

[0029] In Embodiment 1, the squeezing and shearing action of the relative rotation of the two rollers may create dead corners for crushing irregularly shaped (such as those with protrusions or holes) automotive trim waste, resulting in some waste particles being too large or not being crushed thoroughly. Therefore, Embodiment 2 of the present invention is proposed. The crushing device is a blade crushing device. The crushing device includes a crushing cylinder 31 and horizontal blades 32 and inclined blades 33, both of which are arranged inside the crushing cylinder 31. The horizontal blades 32 are located below the inclined blades 33, and the inclined blades 33 form a certain angle with the horizontal plane. The bottom of the crushing cylinder 31 is provided with a blowing channel 34, and the upper half of the crushing cylinder 31 is provided with a suction discharge channel 35. The horizontal blades 32 can rotate around the axis of the crushing cylinder 31, and the inclined blades 33 rotate around their own inclined direction and can also revolve around the axis of the crushing cylinder 31.

[0030] Compared to Example 1, such as Figures 7-10 In the second embodiment shown, the crushing is more uniform and fine, the separation and discharge are more efficient, and the adaptability is stronger. Through the combined motion of the horizontal blade 32 rotating around the axis and the inclined blade 33 rotating on its own axis and revolving around the center, the plastic waste is cut and crushed in multiple directions and angles. This avoids the problem of insufficient crushing in some areas that may be caused by the extrusion and shearing that may be encountered in dual-roll crushers. It can adapt to different shapes (such as curved surfaces and thin walls) of automotive trim waste and sprue generated during injection molding, etc., and the crushed particle size is more uniform. The bottom of the crushing cylinder 31 is equipped with a blowing channel 34 and the upper part is equipped with a suction discharge channel 35. The airflow can help separate the crushed material of qualified particle size and discharge the qualified waste in time, reduce the retention of over-crushed or uncrushed waste, and improve the crushing efficiency. The inclined angle design and combined motion mode of the inclined blade 33 can handle plastic waste of different hardness and toughness, reduce the risk of waste wrapping around the blade, and reduce the probability of equipment jamming.

[0031] The blade crushing device achieves fine crushing of waste materials through the movement of multiple blades. Inside the crushing cylinder 31, the horizontal blade 32 rotates around its axis to horizontally cut the waste material; the inclined blade 33 rotates on its own axis and revolves around the axis of the crushing cylinder 31, increasing the vertical cutting range. This allows for efficient crushing of waste materials of different shapes and with different feed angles, avoiding material jamming and slow crushing of larger but substandard particles. During crushing, the air blowing channel 34 blows air from the bottom, and the exhaust channel 35 draws air from the upper part, creating an airflow that carries the crushed, qualified waste particles out of the crushing cylinder 31.

[0032] The crushing device further comprises a first rotating shaft 36, a rotating sleeve 37, a rotating driving device and a self-rotating transmission device, the rotating driving device is installed at the top end of the crushing cylinder 31, the first rotating shaft 36 is vertically installed in the crushing cylinder 31, the rotating driving device is in transmission connection with the first rotating shaft 36, the rotating sleeve 37 is sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 36, the rotating driving device is connected with the rotating sleeve 37, the horizontal blade 32 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 36, and the inclined blade 33 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the rotating sleeve 37.

[0034] The rotating driving device comprises a rotating driver 38, a second rotating shaft 39, a first speed reduction gear set 40 and a second speed reduction gear set 41, the rotating driver 38 is fixedly installed at the top end of the crushing cylinder 31, the output end of the rotating driver 38 is fixedly connected with the top end of the first rotating shaft 36, the second rotating shaft 39 is located beside the top end of the first rotating shaft 36, the first speed reduction gear set 40 is in transmission connection with the first rotating shaft 36 and the second rotating shaft 39 respectively, and the second speed reduction gear set 41 is in transmission connection with the second rotating shaft 39 and the rotating sleeve 37 respectively.

[0035] The rotating driver 38 drives the first rotating shaft 36 to rotate and drives the horizontal blade 32 to rotate, the first speed reduction gear set 40 transmits the power of the first rotating shaft 36 to the second rotating shaft 39, and the second speed reduction gear set 41 transmits the power of the second rotating shaft 39 to the rotating sleeve 37 to drive the inclined blade 33 to revolve at a reduced speed.

[0036] The self-rotating transmission device comprises a shaft joint ring 42, a fixed ring 43, a limiting sleeve 44 and a rotating ring 45, the shaft joint ring 42 is obliquely installed on the rotating sleeve 37, the inclined blade 33 is fixedly installed on the shaft joint ring 42, the oblique angle of the shaft joint ring 42 is consistent with that of the inclined blade 33, the shaft joint ring 42 is internally provided with ring teeth, the transmission ball head 46 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 36, the arc-shaped transmission teeth 47 are arranged on the outer surface of the transmission ball head 46, the shaft joint ring 42 is in mesh with the transmission ball head 46 through the ring teeth and the arc-shaped transmission teeth 47, the fixed ring 43 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 36, the rotating ring 45 is fixedly installed on the rotating sleeve 37, the rotating ring 45 is installed in the limiting sleeve 44, and the limiting sleeve 44 is detachably connected with the fixed ring 43.

[0037] The shaft connecting ring 42 is obliquely installed on the rotating sleeve 37, and the oblique blade 33 is fixed thereon and revolves with the rotating sleeve 37; the transmission ball head 46 on the first rotating shaft 36 is engaged with the ring teeth of the shaft connecting ring 42 through the arc-shaped transmission teeth 47, and when the first rotating shaft 36 rotates, the shaft connecting ring 42 and the oblique blade 33 are driven to rotate around the oblique direction of the shaft connecting ring 42 through the engagement of the arc-shaped transmission teeth 47 and the ring teeth.
