Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste plastic cleaning, in particular to a cleaning device for recycling waste plastic. Background Art
[0002] Waste plastic recycling refers to the process of collecting, sorting, processing and reusing discarded plastic products through a series of technical means, aiming to reduce plastic pollution, save resources and promote the development of a circular economy. The main sources of waste plastics include plastic bottles, packaging bags, and tableware in daily life, scraps and waste plastic products in industrial production, and mulch films and irrigation pipes in agriculture. In the recycling process, cleaning is an indispensable part. Cleaning removes contaminants on the surface of plastics, restores their physical properties and processing stability, and provides high-quality raw materials for regeneration and granulation. To this end, the patent with publication number CN119458687A discloses a cleaning device for recycling waste plastics, which relates to the technical field of waste plastics cleaning, including a cleaning box, an infeed inclined guide plate and an outfeed inclined guide plate, wherein a filter plate is fixedly provided inside the cleaning box, and a belt transmission assembly is provided above the filter plate for conveying the plastic falling on the filter plate to the outfeed inclined guide plate, and further comprising: an elastic conveying net, a lifting and flushing mechanism and a rotating flushing nozzle, wherein a plurality of elastic conveying nets are provided and are evenly distributed on the belt transmission assembly, and the elastic conveying net is used to support the plastic. The present invention conveys the crushed plastics falling into the cleaning box by means of a conveyor belt, and during the conveying process, the lifting and lowering support plate carries the curved nozzle to continuously lift and lower the elastic conveying net on the conveyor belt, thereby facilitating the turning of the plastics on the elastic conveying net, and at the same time, the curved nozzle squeezes into the plastic at close range when squeezing the elastic conveying net, facilitating the close and sufficient flushing of the flipped plastics, thereby improving the flushing effect; The above-mentioned waste plastic recycling cleaning equipment transports the broken plastics that fall into the cleaning box through a conveyor belt, thereby facilitating the turning of the plastics on the elastic conveyor net and improving the flushing effect. However, flushing can only remove loose dirt on the surface of the plastic, such as mud and dust, and has limited effect on firmly attached impurities, such as ink and label residues, which are difficult to clean thoroughly, resulting in physical contamination residues.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the cleaning equipment for waste plastic recycling has the advantages that when cleaning waste plastics, the friction cylinder rotates and reciprocates up and down through the gear set, directly contacts the plastic fragments, mechanically peels off stubborn stains, the 45° inclined spray head forms a spiral water flow to wash the surface, cooperates with the up-and-down displacement of the friction cylinder, realizes three-dimensional cleaning, and the cleaning is more thorough. 1. By setting the friction mechanism, three groups of friction cylinders are arranged at equal intervals in the cleaning tank, which can cover different areas of waste plastics in the cleaning tank, and the three groups of friction cylinders rotate synchronously in the cleaning process through the main gear and other components, the friction generated by rotation can peel off stubborn pollutants such as oil stains, glue, label residues and the like on the surface of the plastic, and the rotation of the friction cylinder drives the water flow and the plastic to roll, promotes the full contact of the cleaning agent with the stains, shortens the cleaning time, and can adjust the friction strength according to different plastic characteristics by adjusting the rotation speed, so as to avoid damaging the regenerated material. Further, the top of the connecting block is provided with a rod cylinder, and through the cooperation of the first internal gear ring and other components, the friction cylinder can be displaced up and down while rotating in the cleaning process, so that the friction cylinder can cover a higher range, especially suitable for multi-layer plastic or thick accumulation working conditions. During displacement, the contact pressure of the friction cylinder and the plastic changes with the height, forming an impact and friction alternating effect, which enhances the stain peeling effect. Further, the second internal gear ring is arranged in the connecting block, and through the cooperation of the connecting column and the rack and other components, the friction cylinder is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and different texture friction cylinders can be replaced, such as coarse line glue removal and fine line ink removal, targeted stain removal, and improved cleaning efficiency. 2. By setting the spraying structure, three groups of spray heads inclined at 45° are arranged in the cleaning tank, forming inclined water flow, which can cover the horizontal, vertical and inclined areas on the surface of the plastic at the same time, and the spraying tracks of the three groups of spray heads are interwoven, forming a dense "water network", ensuring that all plastics in the tank can be impacted by the water flow. Furthermore, the 45° tilt angle of the nozzle allows the water flow to impact the plastic surface with optimal kinetic energy. When spraying vertically, some energy will be lost due to rebound, while oblique spraying can reduce energy loss. At the same time, the shear force of the water flow is used to peel off stubborn impurities such as oil, mud and sand, especially for the folds of film plastics. The cleaning effect is remarkable.
