[0002] With the increasing global environmental awareness and the increasing importance of resource recycling, the recycling of used glass bottles has become an important part of environmental protection and resource conservation. As a common packaging material, glass bottles are widely used in many fields such as food, beverages, and medicine. However, in the recycling process of used glass bottles, bottle caps and bottle heads are usually made of plastic or other non-glass materials, and the separation of these materials from the glass bottle body becomes a difficult point in recycling.
[0003] Traditional methods of recycling waste glass bottles mostly use manual separation or simple mechanical separation, which has problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, and incomplete separation. Manual separation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to secondary pollution and waste of resources; while existing mechanical separation devices are often simple in design and cannot effectively deal with bottle caps and bottle heads of different shapes, sizes and materials, resulting in unsatisfactory separation effects, affecting the recovery rate and reuse value of waste glass bottles.

[0045] How it works
[0046] When in use, start the conveyor belt to continuously transport the broken glass debris to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is equipped with a height-adjustable filter plate. When the filter plate is adjusted to an appropriate height, large pieces of glass and plastic bottle caps will be blocked by the obliquely arranged filter plate and guided to the upper hopper. Glass debris and other fine debris will be sent out by the conveyor belt, achieving the first separation, that is, the filtration of fine particles.
[0047] After the large pieces of glass and plastic bottle caps fall into the upper hopper, the water pump is started to fill the upper hopper with water. Under the action of water buoyancy, the plastic bottle caps with lower density will float up with the water, while the glass pieces with higher density will sink to the bottom, thus achieving the second separation, that is, the separation of the bottle caps and the glass pieces;
[0048] When the water in the hopper overflows from the water filter plate, the bottle caps will also overflow from the water filter plate with the overflowing water. The overflowing water will be filtered out through the water filter holes at the bottom of the water filter plate, and the bottle caps that have been filtered will fall from the outlet of the water filter plate, thus achieving the separation of the bottle caps;
