Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waste recycling, and particularly relates to an iron can flattening and recycling mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Severe dependence on manual processing: At present, many recycling stations and factories still highly rely on manual operations to process iron cans. Workers need to manually disassemble, classify, clean, and flatten iron cans. This process not only has a high labor intensity but also low efficiency. With the continuous increase in the number of iron cans, this manual-dependent method has been difficult to meet the needs of large-scale recycling.

[0003] Low penetration rate of automated equipment: Although there are some automated iron can recycling equipment in the market, the penetration rate of these equipment is not high. Many small recycling stations are unable to purchase or maintain these equipment due to limitations in funds, technology, etc. Even if some large recycling factories use automated equipment, the overall recycling efficiency is not significantly improved due to problems such as unstable equipment performance and high maintenance costs. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the problems raised in the above background art, the utility model provides the following technical solution: An iron can flattening and recycling mechanism, including a material bin and a base. A flattening mechanism is arranged on the base. The flattening mechanism includes a holding block, a speed reduction mechanism, a driving motor, a partition board, a pressing frame, and a guiding hopper. The partition board is connected to the base, the pressing frame is connected to the partition board, the material bin is slidably connected to the pressing frame, the holding block is connected to the pressing frame, the pressing frame is located inside the material bin and in the middle of the material bin. The material bin is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by the holding block on the left and right. A blanking groove is opened on the partition board, and the blanking groove is arranged adjacent to the holding block. The guiding hopper is connected to the partition board, and the blanking groove is communicated with the material bin and the guiding hopper. The driving motor is arranged inside the base, the speed reduction mechanism is connected to the outer wall of the base, the driving motor is in transmission connection with the speed reduction mechanism, the speed reduction mechanism is connected to the outer wall of the material bin through a connecting rod assembly, a switch is arranged on the outer wall of the base, and a wiring connector is arranged inside the base. The switch and the driving motor are connected to the wiring connector through wires.

[0005] Further, observation grooves are equidistantly opened on the outer wall of the guiding hopper.

[0006] Further, a cover plate is arranged on the top of the holding block, a fitting groove adapted to the holding block is opened on the pressing frame, and the cover plate is connected to the pressing frame through bolts.

[0007] Further, the driving motor is in transmission connection with the speed reduction mechanism through a belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the surface of the partition is sprayed with fluorocarbon.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Through automated design, including the coordinated operation of a drive motor, a reduction mechanism, and a connecting rod assembly, the flattening and recycling efficiency of iron cans is significantly improved, and the labor cost is reduced. Structurally, the holding block and the pressing frame are tightly connected through a cover plate and bolts, enhancing stability and durability, and preventing deviation or damage during the flattening process. At the same time, the belt drive method enables the drive motor to adapt to different working loads and speed requirements, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. The observation groove design on the outer wall of the guiding hopper facilitates the operator to monitor the flow of iron cans in real time, promptly discover and handle problems such as blockages, ensuring the smooth progress of the recycling process. In addition, the fluorocarbon coating sprayed on the partition reduces the surface roughness, decreases the friction force, and improves the sliding smoothness of the silo. The entire recycling process realizes the continuous feeding, flattening, sliding, and collection of iron cans, forming an efficient cycle system, which not only improves the recycling efficiency but also ensures the continuity and stability of the recycling process.

[0019] In this embodiment, observation grooves 12 are equidistantly formed on the outer wall of the guide bucket 8 .

[0020] With the above structure, the observation slot 12 allows the operator to view the flow of the internal iron cans in real time without opening the guide bucket 8, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the recycling process; the machine parameters can be adjusted or blockages can be cleared in time through the observation slot 12 to ensure recycling efficiency.

[0021] In this embodiment, a cover plate 13 is provided on the top of the abutting block 3 , and the pressing frame 7 is provided with a fitting groove adapted to the abutting block 3 , and the cover plate 13 is connected to the pressing frame 7 by bolts.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drive motor 5 is drivingly connected to the reduction mechanism 4 through a belt.

[0024] With the above structure, the belt drive can adjust the transmission ratio within a certain range, enabling the drive motor 5 to adapt to different working loads and speed requirements.

[0025] In this embodiment, the surface of the partition 6 is sprayed with fluorocarbon.

[0026] With the above structure, the partition 6 sprayed with fluorocarbon has a lower surface roughness, reducing the friction between the silo 1 and the surface of the partition 6, thereby improving the sliding smoothness of the silo 1.

[0027] Working principle: After startup, the operator sequentially places the iron cans into the first chamber 9 and the second chamber 10 separated by the abutting block 3. Each chamber is designed to accommodate one iron can. As the drive motor 5 drives the silo 1 to reciprocate through the reduction mechanism 4 and the link assembly, the iron cans are flattened as they alternately approach and move away from the abutting block 3. The flattened iron cans naturally slide onto the discharge chute 11 on the partition 6 and slide down through the guiding hopper 8 to the collection area. The whole process is carried out in a cycle, and the operator only needs to continuously place the iron cans and monitor the equipment status. At the same time, clean and maintain regularly to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
