Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to plastic recycling, and particularly relates to a feeding speed regulating component of a hopper on a color sorter. Background Art

[0002] Battery separator is a separator installed inside the battery. Its main functions include preventing electrode short circuit, controlling gas release and balancing the current distribution between battery cells. Batteries need to be scrapped after long-term use, but plastics such as battery shells and battery separators can be recycled. Usually, these plastics are crushed, washed, dried, transported, stored and remade into plastic particles, and then sorted and classified by color sorters for secondary recycling. However, there are still the following disadvantages when feeding color sorters:

[0003] 1. Usually, there is a hopper on the color sorter for feeding the color sorter. The raw materials of the color sorter are output from the external raw material silo and enter the hopper for color sorting. During this process, the discharge speed of the raw material silo is constantly changing, which causes the feeding of the hopper on the color sorter to change. This can easily lead to two problems: first, the raw material supply is insufficient and cannot match the color sorting speed of the color sorter, causing shutdown; second, the raw material supply speed is too fast, causing material blockage in the hopper; insufficient material supply or material blockage will cause equipment abnormality, requiring workers to frequently observe the feeding speed of the hopper and constantly adjust it, which consumes too much time, energy and labor costs;

[0004] 2. Secondly, there are corresponding color sorting channels in the color sorter. If the feeding is not uniform, the color sorting amount of each color sorting channel will be different, which is easy to cause errors or untimely processing. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the feeding amount in each channel of the color sorter is consistent. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a feeding speed regulating component for a hopper on a color sorter. By arranging a feeding hopper, a receiving hopper, a material buffer shell, an adjusting plate, an inserting plate and a partition plate, the utility model solves the problems that the feeding speed of the color sorter does not match the color sorting speed, the raw material supply speed is too fast and causes material blockage, frequent manual observation and adjustment are required, and the feeding amount of each channel in the color sorter is inconsistent.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model discloses a feeding speed regulating component for a hopper on a color sorter, comprising a feeding hopper, a transfer shell 1, a buffer shell, a transfer shell 2 and a receiving hopper. The feeding hopper is arranged obliquely, and a transfer shell 1 is fixed to a higher end of the feeding hopper, a buffer shell is fixed to the upper end of the transfer shell 1, a transfer shell 2 is fixed to the upper end of the buffer shell, and a receiving hopper is fixed to the higher end of the transfer shell 2.

[0008] The feed hopper is fixed with equally spaced partition plates, and the feed hoppers on both sides of each partition plate are provided with material distribution cavities, each of which is plugged with an adjustment plate, and the upper ends of all the adjustment plates extend through the upper inclined surface of the feed hopper and are fixed with strips;

[0009] A plug plate is inserted through the material receiving hopper.

[0010] Furthermore, an inverted U-shaped frame is fixed to the outside of both sides of the feed hopper, the middle part of the U-shaped frame is threadedly connected to two screws, and the lower end of the screw is rotatably connected to the upper end of the slat, and a hand wheel is fixed to the upper end of the screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the higher end of the partition plate is a pointed structure, and the size of the higher port of the feed hopper is larger than the size of the lower port of the feed hopper.

[0012] Furthermore, the interiors of the feed hopper, transfer shell 1, buffer shell, transfer shell 2 and receiving hopper are interconnected.

[0013] Furthermore, a vibration motor is fixed on the outer surface of the buffer shell, and the vibration motor is located above the feed hopper, and buffer plates are fixed on the two inner walls of the buffer shell at equal distances and staggered distribution, and the buffer plates are inclined toward the center of the buffer shell.

[0014] Furthermore, the receiving hopper is arranged at an angle, and the upper end of the insert plate passes through the upper inclined surface of the receiving hopper and extends out, the upper inclined surface of the receiving hopper is fixed with an inverted U-shaped frame 2, and the middle part of the U-shaped frame 2 is threadedly connected with a screw rod 2, the lower end of the screw rod 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the insert plate, and the upper end of the screw rod 2 is fixed with a hand wheel 2.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The utility model solves the problems of mismatch between the feeding speed of the color sorter and the color sorting speed, material blockage due to excessively fast raw material supply speed, and the need for frequent manual observation and adjustment by arranging a feed hopper, a receiving hopper, a buffer shell, an adjustment plate, and a plug plate; the raw material bin is connected to the receiving hopper, and the lower end of the feed hopper is connected to the color sorter to feed the color sorter. When the raw material bin is discharged, it enters the receiving hopper, and the discharge amount of the raw material bin is controlled by controlling the spacing between the plug plate and the lower inclined surface inside the receiving hopper. Subsequently, the plastic particles enter the buffer shell through the transfer shell 2, and pass through the buffer plate in the buffer shell. The design slows down the falling speed of plastic particles and prevents them from falling into the feed hopper quickly. Then, once the material passes through the transfer shell and enters the feed hopper, a small amount of plastic particles should accumulate in the feed hopper. By controlling the position of the adjusting plate and the distance between the bottom end of the adjusting plate and the bottom surface of the material distribution cavity, the discharging speed is controlled to keep the discharging speed constant and match the color sorting speed with the feeding speed. The slow-down shell buffers the falling speed of the plastic so that it will not enter the feed hopper quickly and there will be no material blockage. This eliminates the need for workers to observe frequently, saving time, energy and labor costs.

[0017] 2. The utility model solves the problem of inconsistent feed amounts into various channels in the color sorter by providing a feed hopper, a partition plate, and an adjustment plate; the plastic particles entering the feed hopper are first accumulated in a small amount in the material separation cavity outside each partition plate, and the discharge amount of each material separation cavity is made consistent through the control of the adjustment plate, so that the feed amount into each color sorting channel of the color sorter can be consistent, and the phenomenon of different color sorting amounts will not occur.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model is a feeding speed adjustment component of a hopper on a color sorter, comprising a feeding hopper 1, a transfer shell 1 2, a buffer shell 3, a transfer shell 2 4 and a receiving hopper 5. The feeding hopper 1 is tilted, and the higher end of the feeding hopper 1 is fixed with the transfer shell 1 2, the upper end of the transfer shell 1 2 is fixed with the buffer shell 3, the upper end of the buffer shell 3 is fixed with the transfer shell 2 4, and the higher end of the transfer shell 2 4 is fixed with the receiving hopper 5;

[0029] The interiors of the feed hopper 1, the transfer shell 1 2, the buffer shell 3, the transfer shell 2 4 and the receiving hopper 5 are interconnected;

[0030] The raw material bin is connected to the receiving hopper 5, and the lower end of the feed hopper 1 is connected to the color sorter to feed the color sorter. When the raw material bin is discharged, it passes through the receiving hopper 5, the transfer shell 2 4, the slow material shell 3, the transfer shell 1 2 and the feed hopper 1 in sequence and then enters the color sorter;

[0031] The feed hopper 1 is fixed with equally spaced partition plates 104, and the feed hopper 1 is provided with a material distribution cavity 105 on both sides of each partition plate 104, and each material distribution cavity 105 is plugged with an adjustment plate 106, and the upper ends of all the adjustment plates 106 extend through the upper inclined surface of the feed hopper 1 and are fixed with a strip plate 103;

[0032] The feed hopper 1 is provided with a partition plate 104 to form several material distribution chambers 105 of equal size. The plastic particles entering the feed hopper 1 are distributed in the several material distribution chambers 105. By controlling the positions of the strip plate 103 and the adjustment plate 106, the distance between the bottom end of the adjustment plate 106 and the bottom surface of the material distribution chamber 105 is changed, thereby controlling the discharge speed, keeping the discharge speed constant, and matching the color sorting speed with the feed speed.

[0033] A plug plate 502 is inserted through the receiving hopper 5; the distance between the plug plate 502 and the lower inclined surface inside the receiving hopper 5 is controlled, thereby controlling the discharge amount of the raw material bin.

[0034] An inverted U-shaped frame 101 is fixed to both sides of the feed hopper 1. Two screw rods 102 are threadedly connected to the middle part of the U-shaped frame 101. The lower end of the screw rod 102 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the strip plate 103. A hand wheel 1021 is fixed to the upper end of the screw rod 102.

[0035] The U-shaped frame 101 is used to install the screw 102. By rotating the screw 102 through the hand wheel 1021, the strip plate 103 and the adjustment plate 106 can be moved out of the feed hopper 1 or into the feed hopper 1, thereby changing the distance between the bottom end of the adjustment plate 106 and the bottom surface of the material distribution cavity 105, and then changing the feeding speed of the feed hopper 1 into the color sorter to match the color sorting speed.

[0036] The higher end of the partition plate 104 is a pointed structure, which will not cause material blockage, and the higher port size of the feed hopper 1 is larger than the lower port size of the feed hopper 1.

[0037] A vibration motor 301 is fixed on the outer surface of the buffer shell 3, and the vibration motor 301 is located above the feed hopper 1. Buffer plates 302 are fixed on the two inner walls of the buffer shell 3 at equal distances and in a staggered distribution, and the buffer plates 302 are inclined toward the center of the buffer shell 3.

[0038] The plastic particles pass through the transfer shell 2 4 and enter the buffer shell 3. The buffer plate 302 in the buffer shell 3 is designed to slow down the falling speed of the plastic particles and prevent them from falling into the feed hopper 1 quickly. The buffer plate 302 itself is designed to be inclined, but in order to avoid the accumulation of plastic particles on the buffer plate 302, the vibration motor 301 is cooperated to work so that the plastic particles temporarily accumulated on the buffer plate 302 fall down.

[0039] The receiving hopper 5 is arranged in an inclined manner, and the upper end of the insert plate 502 penetrates the upper inclined surface of the receiving hopper 5 and extends out. An inverted U-shaped frame 501 is fixed to the upper inclined surface of the receiving hopper 5. A screw rod 503 is threadedly connected to the middle part of the U-shaped frame 501. The lower end of the screw rod 503 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the insert plate 502. A hand wheel 5031 is fixed to the upper end of the screw rod 503.

[0040] The U-shaped frame 501 is installed with a screw 503, and the screw 503 is rotated by a hand wheel 5031 to control the plug plate 502 to move toward the outside of the receiving hopper 5 or toward the inside of the receiving hopper 5, thereby controlling the distance between the plug plate 502 and the lower inclined surface inside the receiving hopper 5, and adjusting the discharge amount of the silo entering the buffer shell 3.

[0041] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the raw material bin is connected to the higher end of the receiving hopper 5, and the lower end of the feed hopper 1 is connected to the color sorter to feed the color sorter. When the raw material bin is discharged, it passes through the receiving hopper 5, the transfer shell 2 4, the buffer shell 3, the transfer shell 1 2 and the feed hopper 1 in sequence and then enters the color sorter; first, the screw 2 503 is rotated by the hand wheel 2 5031 to control the plug plate 502 to move to the outside of the receiving hopper 5, thereby controlling the distance between the plug plate 502 and the lower inclined surface inside the receiving hopper 5, so that the receiving hopper 5 is connected to the transfer shell 2 4 for discharging, and then the plastic particles pass through the transfer shell 2 4 into the buffer shell 3, and the buffer plate 302 in the buffer shell 3 is designed to slow down the falling speed of the plastic particles to avoid falling into the feed hopper 1 quickly, and cooperate with the vibration motor 301 to temporarily accumulate on the buffer plate 302. The plastic particles fall down, and then the material passes through the transfer shell 2 and enters the feed hopper 1. At this time, a small amount of plastic particles should be accumulated in the feed hopper 1. Then, the screw 102 is rotated by the hand wheel 1021 to make the strip plate 103 and the adjustment plate 106 move out of the feed hopper 1, thereby changing the distance between the bottom end of the adjustment plate 106 and the bottom surface of the dividing cavity 105, and then changing the feeding speed of the feed hopper 1 into the color sorter to match the color sorting speed; through the control of the adjustment plate 106, the discharge amount of each dividing cavity 105 is made consistent, so that the feed amount entering each color sorting channel of the color sorter can be made consistent. When the feeding speed of the feed hopper 1 matches the color sorting speed, the position of the plug plate 502 is appropriately adjusted to ensure that there is always a small amount of plastic particles accumulated in the feed hopper 1, so as to ensure uniform feeding and discharging speeds.

Any modification to the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments and any equivalent replacement of some of the technical features therein, any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
