Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of waste tire recycling equipment, in particular to a waste rubber tire pyrolysis recycling equipment. Background Art

[0002] Waste rubber tires, referred to as waste tires, refer to tires that are no longer of use value. They are mainly composed of rubber, steel, carbon black and a series of chemical substances. Waste tires are a type of waste rubber. Their characteristics include heat resistance, mechanical resistance and degradation resistance, which means that they are difficult to decompose in the natural environment. Long-term storage not only occupies a large amount of land resources, but may also cause environmental pollution, such as breeding mosquitoes, spreading diseases, and even causing fires and other safety hazards. The rubber, steel and other materials in the tires are valuable resources. They can be recycled and reused after recycling to reduce the mining of new resources.

[0003] When recycling waste rubber tires through cracking, they need to be placed in a pulverizer for crushing. However, hard debris such as stones on the surface of existing waste rubber tires are embedded in the tires, which will increase the difficulty of recycling the tires during crushing, cutting, etc., and may also cause wear on the recycling equipment and shorten the service life of the equipment. Improvements need to be made to this problem. Summary of the invention

[0011] According to the above technical solution, a rotating circular shell is arranged inside the auxiliary frame, and the outer ring of the bearing 1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating circular shell, so as to support and fix the bearing 1.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the output end of the driving motor passes through the back of the machine body and extends into the machine body to be fixedly connected to the back of the rotating shaft 2, so that the driving motor can control the rotating shaft 2 to rotate during operation, and the bottom of the fixed support frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the machine body, so as to support and fix the fixed support frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: when it is necessary to carry out fixed support for the waste rubber tire, the waste rubber tire is placed in the machine body and placed in the middle of the outer side of the rotating barrel, and then the bidirectional telescopic rod is controlled to work, and the bidirectional telescopic rod is driven to move the movable ring plate on the outer wall of the rotating barrel when the bidirectional telescopic rod is working, and at this time, the movable ring plate squeezes a pair of adjusting arms of the outer adjusting frame when moving, and when the adjusting arms are squeezed, the second adjusting frame on the other side of the adjusting arms pushes the top wall arc plate to rise, so that the height position of the top wall arc plate can be adjusted, and then the top wall arc plate is attached to the inner wall of the waste rubber tire, so that the device can carry out fixed support work for waste rubber tires of different sizes, which is convenient for recycling waste tires of different types and sizes;

[0018] When it is necessary to clean the stones embedded in the outer surface of the waste rubber tire, the driving motor is controlled to work, and the driving motor drives the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating barrel to rotate. At the same time, since the vacuum suction cup absorbs and clamps the inner wall of the waste rubber tire, the rotating barrel causes the vacuum suction cup to rotate synchronously when rotating, and drives the waste tire to rotate at the same time, and the moving ring plate is continuously controlled to move, so that the elasticity of the waste rubber tire changes, and it arches outward from the contact point of the second adjustment frame, and at the same time, the gap on the outer wall of the waste rubber tire is increased. At the same time, under the operation of the driving motor, the waste rubber tire is rotated, and centrifugal force is generated during rotation, so that the stones embedded in the waste rubber tire are thrown out more easily;

[0019] When the surface of the waste rubber tire is adhered with sticky substances that are difficult to remove and the stones cannot be removed, the waste rubber tire rotates with the rotating barrel, so that the waste rubber tire contacts the outer surface of the cleaning roller, so that the outer surface of the cleaning roller sweeps off the stones that are difficult to remove and adhere to the surface of the waste rubber tire. When the stones are deeply embedded in the gap of the waste rubber tire, the two-way telescopic rod is controlled to work, so that the position of the adjusting frame 2 moves toward the outer wall of the rotating barrel, and at the same time, the top wall arc plate on the adjusting frame 2 pulls the waste rubber tire to deform inward, and then the two-way telescopic rod is controlled to work again, so that the top wall arc plate on the adjusting frame 2 expands the inner wall of the waste rubber tire outward again. After multiple contractions and expansions, the position where the stones are embedded on the outer wall of the waste rubber tire is destroyed, so that the stones embedded deeply can be removed.

[0036] The supporting assembly 7 includes an air storage box 701, a small vacuum pump 702, a connecting spring tube 703 and a vacuum suction cup 704. The air storage box 701 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating barrel 505, the small vacuum pump 702 is fixedly connected to the outside of the air storage box 701, the connecting spring tube 703 is fixedly connected to the outside of the air storage box 701, and is staggered with the small vacuum pump 702. The vacuum suction cup 704 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting spring tube 703 away from the air storage box 701.

[0037] The output end of the driving motor 501 passes through the back of the body 2 and extends into the body 2 to be fixedly connected to the back of the rotating shaft 2 502, so that the driving motor 501 can control the rotating shaft 2 502 to rotate during operation. The bottom of the fixed support frame 504 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the body 2, so as to support and fix the fixed support frame 504.

[0038] The front and back sides of the second rotating shaft 502 are fixedly connected with limiting circular plates, which can limit the movement of the movable ring plate 603.

[0039] A moving groove is provided inside the moving ring plate 603 , and the moving ring plate 603 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating barrel 505 through the moving groove, so that the moving ring plate 603 can slide on the outer wall of the rotating barrel 505 .

[0040] A fixing slot is provided in the middle of the top wall arc plate 607 , and the vacuum suction cup 704 is arranged in the fixing slot to support and fix the top wall arc plate 607 .

[0041] When it is necessary to provide fixed support for the waste rubber tire, the waste rubber tire is put into the machine body 2 and placed in the middle of the outer side of the rotating barrel 505. Then the bidirectional telescopic rod 602 is controlled to work. When the bidirectional telescopic rod 602 works, the movable ring plate 603 is pushed to move on the outer wall of the rotating barrel 505. At this time, the movable ring plate 603 causes the outer side adjustment frame 1 604 to squeeze the adjustment arm 605 when moving. When the adjustment arm 605 is squeezed, the adjustment frame 2 606 on the other side of the adjustment arm 605 pushes the top wall arc plate 607 to rise, so that the height position of the top wall arc plate 607 can be adjusted, and then the top wall arc plate 607 is attached to the inner wall of the waste rubber tire, so that the device can perform fixed support work for waste rubber tires of different sizes, which is convenient for recycling waste tires of different types and sizes.

[0042] After the top wall arc plate 607 is attached to the inner wall of the waste tire, the small vacuum pump 702 is controlled to work. When the small vacuum pump 702 is working, negative pressure is generated in the air storage box 701, the connecting spring tube 703 and the vacuum suction cup 704. At the same time, since the vacuum suction cup 704 is attached to the inner wall of the waste rubber tire, the vacuum suction cup 704 can absorb the inner wall of the waste rubber tire and clamp it.

[0043] When it is necessary to clean the stones embedded in the outer surface of the waste rubber tire, the driving motor 501 is controlled to work. When the driving motor 501 is working, it drives the rotating shaft 2 502 and the rotating barrel 505 to rotate. At the same time, since the vacuum suction cup 704 adsorbs and clamps the inner wall of the waste rubber tire, the rotating barrel 505 causes the vacuum suction cup 704 to rotate synchronously when it rotates, and drives the waste tire to rotate at the same time. The moving ring plate 603 is continuously controlled to move, so that the elasticity of the waste rubber tire changes, and it arches outward from the contact point of the adjusting frame 2 606, and at the same time increases the gap on the outer wall of the waste rubber tire. At the same time, under the operation of the driving motor 501, the waste rubber tire is rotated, and centrifugal force is generated during rotation, so that the stones embedded in the waste rubber tire are thrown out more easily.

[0044] When the surface of the waste rubber tire is adhered with sticky substances that are difficult to remove and the stones cannot be removed, the waste rubber tire rotates with the rotating barrel 505, so that the waste rubber tire contacts the outer surface of the cleaning roller 404, so that the outer surface of the cleaning roller 404 sweeps off the stones that are difficult to remove and adhere to the surface of the waste rubber tire. When the stones are deeply embedded in the gap of the waste rubber tire, the two-way telescopic rod 602 is controlled to work, so that the position of the adjustment frame 606 moves toward the outer wall of the rotating barrel 505, and at the same time, the top wall arc plate 607 on the adjustment frame 606 pulls the waste rubber tire to deform inwardly, and then the two-way telescopic rod 602 is controlled to work again, so that the top wall arc plate 607 on the adjustment frame 606 expands the inner wall of the waste rubber tire outward again. After multiple contractions and expansions, the position of the stone embedding on the outer wall of the waste rubber tire is destroyed, so that the stones embedded deeply can be removed.
