[0045] Working principle
[0046] When in use, the conveying belt is started to continuously transport the crushed glass debris onto the conveying belt, and the filter plate with adjustable height is arranged on the conveying belt. The filter plate is adjusted to the appropriate height, and the large glass and plastic bottle caps are blocked by the obliquely arranged filter plate and guided into the upper hopper, and the glass debris and other small impurities are transported out of the conveying belt to realize the first separation, i.e. the filtration of small particles.
[0047] The water pump is started after the large glass and plastic bottle caps fall into the upper hopper, and the water pump injects water into the upper hopper. Under the action of water buoyancy, the plastic bottle caps with smaller density float up with the water, and the glass blocks with larger density sink to the bottom, thereby realizing the second separation, i.e. the separation of bottle caps and glass blocks.
[0048] When the water in the hopper overflows from the water filter plate, the bottle caps also overflow from the water filter plate together with the overflowing water. The water is filtered through the water filter holes at the bottom of the water filter plate, and the filtered bottle caps fall from the outlet of the water filter plate, thereby realizing the separation of the bottle caps.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the filter hole 6a is smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap.
[0065] A water blocking ridge 6b is arranged between two adjacent rows of the filter holes 6a.
