Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental protection mechanical equipment and relates to an air separator, in particular to a multi-channel Z-type air separator. Background Art
[0002] Plastic bottles are widely used as raw materials for polyester (PET), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP). After adding appropriate organic solvents, they are heated to high temperatures and then passed through plastic molds through blow molding, extrusion blow molding, or injection molding. They are primarily used as disposable packaging for liquids or solids such as beverages, foods, dried fruits, edible oils, and pesticides. Plastic bottles are characterized by being unbreakable, low-cost, highly transparent, and made from food-grade raw materials.
[0003] As we all know, waste plastic bottles can be recycled and reused. An industrial chain for the recycling of waste plastic bottles can reflect the comprehensive situation of a society in many aspects such as garbage classification, waste recycling, environmental protection law and public awareness.
[0004] At present, most waste plastic bottle recycling factories use equipment such as plastic input mechanisms, washing mechanisms, division of labor and sorting, label removal, label separators, cold water sedimentation tanks, cleaning boilers, centrifugal dehydrators, hydraulic separation tanks and conveyors to clean, remove labels and crush waste plastic bottles, and finally crush the plastic bottles into fragments for recycling.
[0005] However, to meet the diverse cognitive needs of consumers, plastic bottles are often labeled. Therefore, after washing used plastic bottles, these labels need to be removed. Furthermore, used plastic bottles are often discarded in trash cans or on the ground, often accompanied by dirt and other debris. Therefore, after crushing the used plastic bottles, the debris adhering to the bottle flakes needs to be removed, thereby increasing the high-value recycling of used plastic bottles.
[0006] In the existing technology, workers generally use air separators to separate bottle flakes from miscellaneous materials. However, existing air separators usually have only one set of blowers and ventilation ducts, which is not conducive to the reproducible separation of bottle flakes and miscellaneous materials, and to a certain extent, it cannot completely separate the bottle body from the miscellaneous materials. In addition, during the air separation process, the air intake of the blower cannot be adjusted, resulting in the bottle flakes and labels being sucked into the blower together.
[0007] Due to the above problems, those skilled in the art need to improve the air separator in the prior art to improve the separation efficiency of the air separator for bottle flakes and miscellaneous materials. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above problems in the existing technology and propose a multi-channel Z-type air separator. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to achieve high-efficiency separation between bottle flakes and miscellaneous materials.
[0009] The objectives of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a multi-channel Z-type air separator, comprising a frame, a Z-shaped cavity is arranged in the frame, a receiving hopper connected to the Z-shaped cavity is fixed above the frame, and a discharge hopper connected to the Z-shaped cavity is fixed below the frame, characterized in that a plurality of channel 1s connected to the Z-shaped cavity are opened on one side of the Z-shaped cavity, a label suction component capable of separating bottle flakes and miscellaneous materials in the Z-shaped cavity is provided on the channel 1, and a dust removal bag for absorbing miscellaneous materials is connected to the label suction component; a plurality of channel 2s connected to the Z-shaped cavity are opened on the other side of the Z-shaped cavity, channel 1 and channel 2 are arranged correspondingly, and a damper adjustment mechanism capable of adjusting the air intake volume in channel 2 is provided on the channel 2.
[0010] The working principle of this multi-channel Z-type air separator is as follows:
[0011] 1. Adjust the air door adjustment mechanism, start the label suction component, and put the bottle flakes into the receiving hopper;
[0012] 2. After the bottle pieces are put into the Z-shaped cavity, the middle part of the Z-shaped cavity is the main channel, which is similar to a Z-shaped cavity. One side of the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity leads to several channels 1, and the other side of the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity leads to several channels 2;
[0013] 3. Under the action of the label suction component, the air in the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity is sucked into channel one. At the same time, the debris in the bottle flakes is brought into channel one with the movement of the air. According to the difference in weight between the bottle flakes and the debris, the debris is separated from the bottle flakes and enters channel one and then into the collection box. Finally, it is collected by the dust removal bag. The multi-channel design allows air to fully contact the material, thereby improving the debris removal rate.
[0014] 4. Under the action of the damper adjustment mechanism, each channel 2 can be used to adjust the air volume at the air inlet. Due to the large pressure difference during operation, the bottle flakes may overcome their own gravity and enter the channel at the same time as the miscellaneous materials and be collected. The damper adjustment mechanism installed in this equipment can avoid this problem. When the pressure difference in channel 2 is too large, the opening and closing of the damper adjustment mechanism can be increased; otherwise, it can be reduced.
[0015] 5. Finally, the bottle flakes are discharged through the discharge hopper, and the bottle flake air separation process is completed.
[0016] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-shaped air separator, several of the channels are arranged vertically on the Z-shaped cavity.
[0017] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, the channel 1 is arranged obliquely upward, and the channel 2 is arranged horizontally.
[0018] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, a plurality of channels three connected to the Z-type cavity are opened on the side of the Z-type cavity opposite to channel one, and the channel three is provided with a label suction component capable of separating the bottle flakes and miscellaneous materials in the Z-type cavity, and the label suction components are connected to a dust removal bag for absorbing miscellaneous materials; a plurality of channels four connected to the Z-type cavity are opened on the side of the Z-type cavity opposite to channel two, and the channels three and four are arranged correspondingly, and the channel four is provided with a damper adjustment mechanism capable of adjusting the amount of air intake in the channel four.
[0019] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, the label suction component includes a fan, an adapter and a collection box. The adapter is fixed on the frame and one end of it is connected to channel 1. The collection box is fixed on the frame and one end of it is connected to the dust removal bag. The fan is fixed between the adapter and the collection box, and one end of the fan is connected to the other end of the adapter, and the other end of the fan is connected to the other end of the collection box.
[0020] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, the dust removal bag is fixed to the collection box by a clamp.
[0021] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, the air door adjustment mechanism includes an upper air door adjustment plate and a lower air door adjustment plate arranged on channel two. The upper air door adjustment plate is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped connecting holes, and the waist-shaped connecting holes are fixed to channel two by bolts; the lower air door adjustment plate is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped connecting holes, and the waist-shaped connecting holes are fixed to channel two by bolts, and the lower air door adjustment plate is provided with a blocking plate that can prevent bottle pieces from flying out of channel two.
[0022] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, handles are fixed on the upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate.
[0023] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, the upper end of the Z-type cavity has a feed port, the lower end of the Z-type cavity has a discharge port, the receiving hopper is connected to the feed port through bolts and nuts, and the discharge hopper is connected to the discharge port through bolts and nuts.
[0024] In the above-mentioned multi-channel Z-type air separator, a partition is fixed in some of the channel 1s to isolate the channel 1 to the left and right.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0026] 1. The present invention uses a label suction component, which is mainly composed of a fan, a transfer interface and a collection box. One side of the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity leads to several channels 1. The negative pressure when the fan is running forms a pressure difference with the outside world. Due to the existence of the pressure difference, the air in the main channel in the Z-shaped cavity is sucked into the small channel separated by the partition in the channel 1. At the same time, the sundries in the bottle flakes are brought into the small channel with the movement of the air. According to the different weights of the bottle flakes and the sundries, the bottle flakes fall straight down, while the sundries are separated from the bottle flakes and enter the small channel and then into the collection box, and finally collected by the dust removal bag. The multi-channel design allows the air to fully contact the materials, thereby improving the rate of sundries being brought out.
[0027] 2. The present invention adopts an air door adjustment mechanism, which is mainly composed of an upper air door adjustment plate and a lower air door adjustment plate. Several channels 2 are led out from the other side of the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity. The upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate are fixed to the channel 2 by bolts. The waist-shaped connecting holes on the upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate are used to adjust the air volume of the air inlet. Due to the large pressure difference during operation, the bottle pieces may overcome their own gravity and enter the channel at the same time as the miscellaneous materials and be collected. The upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate installed in this equipment can avoid this problem. When the pressure difference in channel 2 is too large, the opening and closing between the upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate can be increased; otherwise, it can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0034] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a multi-channel Z-shaped air separator includes a frame with a Z-shaped cavity disposed therein. A receiving hopper connected to the Z-shaped cavity is fixed above the frame, and a discharge hopper connected to the Z-shaped cavity is fixed below the frame. Two channels 1 are provided on one side of the Z-shaped cavity, each connected to the Z-shaped cavity. Channel 1 is equipped with a label suction assembly capable of separating bottle flakes from miscellaneous materials in the Z-shaped cavity. Each label suction assembly is connected to a dust bag for absorbing miscellaneous materials. Two channels 2 are provided on the other side of the Z-shaped cavity, each connected to the Z-shaped cavity. Channel 1 corresponds to channel 2, and channel 2 is equipped with a damper adjustment mechanism capable of adjusting the amount of air entering channel 2. Two channels three connected to the Z-shaped cavity are provided on the side opposite to channel one. Channel three is provided with a label suction component that can separate the bottle flakes and miscellaneous materials in the Z-shaped cavity, and the label suction components are connected to a dust removal bag for absorbing miscellaneous materials; two channels four connected to the Z-shaped cavity are provided on the side opposite to channel two. Channel three and channel four are correspondingly arranged, and channel four is provided with a damper adjustment mechanism that can adjust the air intake volume in channel four.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, two channels 1 are arranged vertically on the Z-shaped cavity, two channels 2 are arranged vertically on the Z-shaped cavity, two channels 3 are arranged vertically on the Z-shaped cavity, and two channels 4 are arranged vertically on the Z-shaped cavity. Channels 1 and 3 are arranged upwardly, while channels 2 and 4 are arranged horizontally.
[0036] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, the label suction assembly includes a blower, an adapter, and a collection box. The adapter is fixed to the frame, one end of which is connected to channel 1. The collection box is fixed to the frame, one end of which is connected to the dust bag. The blower is fixed between the adapter and the collection box, with one end of the blower connected to the other end of the adapter, and the other end of the blower connected to the other end of the collection box. A partition is fixed in each of the two channels, isolating channel 1 from the left and right. When the blower is in operation, the negative pressure creates a pressure difference with the outside world. Due to this pressure difference, air in the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity is drawn into the small channels formed by the partition in channel 1. Simultaneously, the movement of air carries debris from the bottle flakes into the small channels. Due to the weight difference between the bottle flakes and the debris, the bottle flakes fall directly, while the debris is separated from the bottle flakes and enters the small channels and then the collection box, and finally is collected by the dust bag. The multi-channel design allows air to fully contact the material, thereby improving the debris removal rate.
[0037] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 4, the damper adjustment mechanism includes an upper damper adjustment plate and a lower damper adjustment plate, each mounted above channel 2. The upper damper adjustment plate has several waist-shaped connecting holes, which are bolted to channel 2. The lower damper adjustment plate also has several waist-shaped connecting holes, which are bolted to channel 2. The lower damper adjustment plate also has a baffle to prevent bottle flakes from flying out of channel 2. Both plates are secured with handles. The waist-shaped connecting holes on the upper and lower damper adjustment plates are used to adjust the air volume at the air inlet. Due to excessive pressure differentials during operation, bottle flakes may overcome their own gravity and enter the channel together with other materials, where they are collected. The addition of the upper and lower damper adjustment plates to this device prevents this problem. When the pressure differential within channel 2 is excessive, the opening and closing of the upper and lower damper adjustment plates can be increased; otherwise, the opening and closing of the upper and lower damper adjustment plates can be decreased.
[0038] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the upper end of the Z-shaped cavity has a feed port, the lower end of the Z-shaped cavity has a discharge port, the receiving hopper is connected to the feed port via bolts and nuts, and the discharge hopper is connected to the discharge port via bolts and nuts. The dust bag is fixed to the collection box via a clamp.
[0039] The working principle of this multi-channel Z-type air separator is as follows:
[0040] 1. Adjust the air door adjustment mechanism, start the label suction component, and put the bottle flakes into the feed port of the Z-shaped cavity through the receiving hopper;
[0041] 2. After the bottle pieces are put into the Z-shaped cavity, the middle part of the Z-shaped cavity is the main channel, which is similar to the shape of multiple Z-shaped. Two channels 1 are led out from one side of the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity. A partition is installed between the two channels 1, evenly dividing them into two small channels on the left and right. Then the two small channels set up above and below are merged into one small channel. Finally, each small channel corresponds to a label suction combination;
[0042] 3. Under the action of the label suction component, which mainly consists of a fan, a transfer interface and a collection box, the negative pressure when the fan is running forms a pressure difference with the outside world. Due to the existence of the pressure difference, the air in the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity is sucked into the small channel formed by the partition in channel 1. At the same time, the sundries in the bottle flakes are brought into the small channel with the movement of the air. According to the difference in weight between the bottle flakes and the sundries, the bottle flakes fall straight down, while the sundries are separated from the bottle flakes and enter the small channel and then into the collection box. Finally, they are collected by the dust removal bag. The multi-channel design allows the air to fully contact the materials, thereby improving the rate of sundries being carried out.
[0043] 4. Under the action of the air door adjustment mechanism, two channels 2 are led out from the other side of the main channel of the Z-shaped cavity. An upper air door adjustment plate and a lower air door adjustment plate are installed in each channel 2. The upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate are fixed to the channel 2 by bolts. The waist-shaped connecting holes on the upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate are used to adjust the air volume at the air inlet. Due to the large pressure difference during operation, the bottle pieces may overcome their own gravity and enter the channel at the same time as the miscellaneous materials and be collected. The upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate installed in this equipment can avoid this problem. When the pressure difference in channel 2 is too large, the opening and closing between the upper air door adjustment plate and the lower air door adjustment plate can be increased, and vice versa.
[0044] 5. Finally, the bottle flakes are discharged from the discharge hopper through the discharge port of the Z-shaped cavity, and the bottle flake air separation process is completed.
[0045] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.
[0046] Although this document frequently uses terms such as 1. frame; 2. Z-shaped cavity; 3. receiving hopper; 4. discharging hopper; 5. channel 1; 6. label suction assembly; 61. fan; 62. adapter; 63. collecting box; 7. dust bag; 8. channel 2; 9. damper adjustment mechanism; 91. upper damper adjustment plate; 92. lower damper adjustment plate; 93. waist-shaped connecting hole; 94. bolt; 95. blocking plate; 96. handle; 10. channel 3; 11. channel 4; 12. partition, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present invention.
