Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste plastic parts, specifically a hot melt equipment for recycling waste plastic parts. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic buckets are a common type of container. Waste generated during plastic bucket manufacturing (primarily through extrusion blow molding) is concentrated in the molding, post-processing, and quality inspection stages. This waste is diverse and has high recycling value. The extrusion stage generates waste such as material changeover material, color transition material, and preform head and tail waste. The molding stage primarily produces die-cutting flash, accounting for 60%-70% of the waste, along with preforms that failed to expand properly. Post-processing generates trimming, punching, and other small scraps. Defective buckets with bubbles, leaks, or deformation that fail quality inspection are also considered waste. Therefore, manufacturers need to recycle and process this waste during production.

[0003] Existing waste recycling equipment, such as the energy-saving melting equipment for recycling waste plastics disclosed in CN202310207977.X, pre-treats raw materials through an internal crushing structure and then heats and recycles them. Alternatively, the waste recycling equipment for plastic woven bags disclosed in the prior art CN221417119U can control the woven bag structure to enter the hot-melting equipment through airflow for hot-melting treatment.

[0004] However, the waste generated during the production of existing plastic buckets is usually oddly shaped and contains impurities. During the recycling process, in order to avoid damaging the hot-melt equipment, the waste is usually cleaned. After cleaning, because there are gaps between the plastic pieces, water vapor will interfere with subsequent processing during the hot-melt process. Usually, drying is required after crushing. Existing drying methods usually use airflow for heating, which is not very effective at removing moisture accumulated between the fragments. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Preferably, it facilitates the rotation of the return fan blades, and by using an external return motor, heat damage to the return motor is reduced.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the output end of the reflux motor is connected to a transmission gear, and the end of the reflux fan blade is equipped with a linkage gear, wherein the transmission gear and the linkage gear mesh and drive each other.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0029] For examples, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 A hot-melting device for recycling waste plastic parts includes a hopper 1. A feed inlet 2 is installed at the top of the hopper 1. A crushing motor 201 is installed on the side of the feed inlet 2. The output end of the crushing motor 201 extends into the feed inlet 2 and is connected to crushing rollers 202. There are two sets of crushing rollers 202. One set of crushing rollers 202 is connected to the crushing motor 201 via a transmission structure, which is a transmission belt and transmission wheel structure. This allows for the crushing of the added waste plastic, improving the crushing effect and facilitating subsequent hot-melting. A drive mechanism 3 is connected to the side of the hopper 1. The output end of the drive mechanism 3 is connected to a drive shaft 301, which extends into the hopper 1. In another instance, the drive shaft 301 is located inside the hopper 1 and a first feeding screw 303 is installed. A hot melt mechanism 4 is installed on the side of the hopper 1 away from the drive mechanism 3. A heating cylinder 6 is installed inside the hot melt mechanism 4. A discharge port 601 is installed at the end of the heating cylinder 6. An electric heating module 602 is installed on the outer wall of the heating cylinder 6. Each group of electric heating modules 602 is fixed to the inner wall of the hot melt mechanism 4. An air inlet 401 is installed on the outer wall of the hot melt mechanism 4. The drive shaft 301 extends into the interior of the heating cylinder 6. A second feeding screw 304 is connected to the outer side of the drive shaft 301, which can conveniently heat and melt the crushed plastic particles to form molten blocks.

[0030] Please see Figures 2 to 9Four sets of return mechanisms 5 are installed on the side of the hot melt mechanism 4. Each return mechanism 5 includes a return fan blade 501 and a return motor 502. The return fan blade 501 is located inside the return mechanism 5, and the return motor 502 is located above the return mechanism 5. A transmission chamber 503 is connected below the return motor 502. The return motor 502 is connected to the return fan blade 501 inside the transmission chamber 503. A controller 504 is installed on the side of the return motor 502. A transmission gear 5021 is connected to the output end of the return motor 502. A linkage gear 5011 is installed at the end of the return fan blade 501. The transmission gear 5021 and the linkage gear 5011 are connected to each other. 011 meshing transmission, the end of the return mechanism 5 is respectively equipped with an upper return pipe 7 and a lower return pipe 8. Both the upper return pipe 7 and the lower return pipe 8 are located inside the hopper 1. The drive shaft 301 is connected to the outside of the drive shaft 301. The end of the upper return pipe 7 extends to the outer wall of the drive shaft 301 and is connected to a driven tooth 701. The driven tooth 701 meshes with the drive shaft 301 to drive the upper return pipe 7 to rotate. The outside of the upper return pipe 7 is equipped with a mixing blade 702 and a vent pipe 703, which can conveniently draw the heat in the heating cylinder 6 into the hopper 1, thereby heating the crushed plastic particles and drying the plastic particles.

[0031] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hopper 1 is equipped with a sliding plate 101, which is tilted towards the inside. The inner wall of the hopper 1 is provided with a buffer plate 9, which is aligned with the bottom of the sliding plate 101. A support rod is connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 101. The buffer plate 9 is composed of a fixed plate 901 and a guide plate 905. A filter screen 904 is connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 901. A spring rod 902 and a hammer 903 are installed on the back plate of the guide plate 905. The guide plate 905 is movably connected to the fixed plate 901 through the spring rod 902. The hammer 903 is aligned with the filter screen 904, which can easily buffer the plastic granules during the feeding process, thereby reducing the impact of feeding on the internal equipment of the hopper 1. It can also facilitate the discharge of water vapor. During the discharge process, the impact of the plastic granules can also be converted into an impact on the filter screen 904, reducing water blockage in the filter screen 904.

[0032] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 A limiting plate 10 is sleeved on the outside of the upper return pipe 7. The limiting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the hopper 1. The upper return pipe 7 rotates inside the limiting plate 10. The lower return pipe 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the hopper 1, and the outer wall of the lower return pipe 8 is aligned with the inner wall of the hopper 1 to facilitate the rotation of the upper return pipe 7.

[0033] During the recycling process, the waste plastic is first placed into the feed inlet 2, and the crushing motor 201 is started. The crushing motor 201 drives the crushing roller 202 to rotate, which pre-crushes the incoming waste plastic into granular structures (of varying sizes). These granules then enter the hopper 1. The crushed plastic granules slide along the slide plate 101 and eventually hit the buffer plate 9. The buffer plate 9 is cushioned by the spring rod 902 between itself and the fixed plate 901, and simultaneously drives the hammer 903 to impact the filter screen 904. Subsequently, the plastic granules slide along the guide plate 905. The plastic particles are placed at the bottom of the hopper 1. The drive mechanism 3 drives the drive shaft 301 to rotate, and the drive shaft 301 drives the first feeding screw 303 to rotate, thereby pushing the plastic particles accumulated inside the hopper 1 into the connecting cylinder 604. The drive shaft 301 is located inside the heating cylinder 6 as the second feeding screw 304, which further drives the plastic particles into the heating cylinder 6. The electric heating module 602 heats the plastic particles, and the heated plastic particles melt to form plastic hot melt blocks, which are finally discharged through the discharge port 601, thereby realizing the recycling of waste plastic and improving the utilization efficiency. Before the recycling process, the equipment usually needs to be preheated. Before adding waste plastic, multiple sets of electric heating modules 602 are activated in advance to preheat the heating cylinder 6. During use, the reflux mechanism 5 is activated simultaneously. The reflux motor 502 in the reflux mechanism 5 drives the reflux fan blades 501 to rotate. The reflux fan blades 501 drive the air flow in the heat-melting mechanism 4. Outside air enters the heat-melting mechanism 4 through the air inlet 401. The heat heats the air, and the heated airflow is sent by the reflux mechanism 5 into the upper reflux pipe 7 and the lower reflux pipe 8. Multiple sets of vent pipes 703 are provided on the outside of the flow pipe 7, which can inject the internal hot airflow into the hopper 1. After the plastic particles enter the hopper 1, the hopper 1 is preheated by the hot airflow, and the blown airflow will transport the water vapor upward and discharge the water vapor through the filter screen 904. The water vapor adheres to the filter screen 904, and the hammer 903 repeatedly impacts it to clean the adhered water, prevent the filter screen 904 from clogging, improve the exhaust effect, and each set of return pipes will heat the plastic particles to prevent the water from damaging the heating cylinder and prevent unnecessary damage to the molten block.
