Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of glass crushing, and specifically relates to an air hammer type glass bottle crushing device. Background Art
[0002] The disposal of discarded glass bottle necks, especially those of wine bottles, is a crucial and essential step in the production and recycling of glass products. Traditionally, these necks are broken manually by hammering or smashing with handheld tools. This method is not only inefficient and unsuitable for large-scale processing, but also extremely labor-intensive and poses a potential health risk to operators. Furthermore, manual crushing easily generates flying debris, which not only complicates cleanup but also poses a serious threat to operator safety, posing a significant safety risk.
[0003] To overcome the drawbacks of manual crushing, a number of mechanized crushing devices have gradually emerged on the market. These devices use mechanical force to break the necks of glass bottles, effectively improving crushing efficiency and reducing manual labor intensity. However, existing mechanized crushing equipment often suffers from complex structures, high maintenance costs, and large floor space requirements, limiting its application in certain scenarios (such as small laboratories and small recycling stations). Furthermore, some devices still struggle to completely prevent fragments from splashing during the crushing process, failing to fundamentally address safety concerns.
[0004] In summary, the industry urgently needs a glass bottle crushing device that can ensure crushing efficiency, reduce equipment costs, simplify the operating process, and effectively prevent fragments from flying. Based on this background, this utility model proposes a pneumatic hammer glass bottle crushing device, which aims to achieve rapid and safe crushing of glass bottle necks through pneumatic principles, while optimizing the structural design to reduce production costs and improve the applicability and safety of the device.

[0026] Example:
[0027] See attached Figure 1 . A pneumatic hammer glass bottle crushing device uses an air hammer instead of manual force to break the bottleneck of a glass bottle. It includes an air hammer actuator 1, which repeatedly hits the glass bottleneck until it breaks. The air source system 2 provides stable high-pressure gas to the air hammer actuator 1, which serves as a power source to drive the air hammer actuator 1 to complete the crushing work. The crushing platform is used to support and limit the glass bottle. When it is hit by the air hammer actuator 1, it is limited by space and the effect of the shock-absorbing pad, so the vibration and noise generated are small. Finally, the glass fragments are collected by the protective device.
[0028] In one embodiment, a pneumatic hammer actuator 1 includes a cylinder, a piston, and a pneumatic hammer head. The cylinder, piston, and pneumatic hammer head are connected using existing technology. The piston reciprocates within the cylinder, which in turn connects to the pneumatic hammer head and drives the pneumatic hammer head to reciprocate, generating a powerful impact force on the neck of the glass bottle to complete the crushing operation. The pneumatic hammer actuator 1 can also be implemented using existing technical structures that can achieve reciprocating motion.
[0029] In one embodiment, the gas source system 2 includes an air compressor, an air tank and an air pressure regulating valve. The high-pressure gas generated by the air compressor is stored in the air tank. The air tank is connected to the cylinder through a pipeline. The air pressure output to the cylinder is controlled by an air pressure regulating valve set on the pipeline connecting the air tank and the cylinder. The air pressure is adjusted according to the specific situation to ensure that the air hammer head generates sufficient impact force to break the bottleneck of the glass bottle.
[0030] In one embodiment, a crushing platform includes a support groove 3 and a crushing tube 4. The support groove 3 has a customizable profile based on the shape of the bottle body of a different glass wine bottle. In this embodiment, the support groove 3 has an inverted trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front, and an inverted truncated cone shape overall. Both ends are open, allowing them to fit the connection between the body and the neck of an inverted glass wine bottle. Multiple support grooves 3 of different shapes can be pre-customized based on common bottle shapes. The bottom opening of the support groove 3 extends a certain length and is configured as an internal thread structure. The crushing tube 4 is configured as an external thread structure. Through threaded engagement, the support grooves 3 of different shapes can be fixedly connected to the crushing tube 4. The diameter of the crushing tube 4 is comparable to the neck of the glass wine bottle. When the glass wine bottle is inverted, the neck portion of the glass wine bottle extends into the crushing tube 4, confining the bottle body within the support groove 3. A pneumatic hammer guide tube 5 is connected to the sidewall of the crushing tube 4. The pneumatic hammer head of the pneumatic hammer actuator 1 is driven by a piston along the pneumatic hammer guide tube 5 to act on the neck of the glass wine bottle within the crushing tube 4, thereby crushing the bottle. To further reduce vibration and noise, there is a shock-absorbing pad at the position where the support groove 3 contacts the connection between the bottle body and the bottleneck of the glass wine bottle to further reduce noise. The shock-absorbing pad is made of rubber or other materials.
[0031] In one embodiment, the protective device includes a protective cover 7 and a debris collection trough 6, which are arranged below the crushing tube 4. Glass fragments fall directly into the debris collection trough 6 due to gravity. In order to prevent the fragments from splashing, the protective cover 7 is also set to a frustum shape, with the end with a small opening fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing tube 4, and the end with a large opening connected to the debris collection trough 6. The protective cover 7 and the debris collection trough 6 can be connected by a detachable structure of the existing technology such as a lock, which facilitates cleaning after the collection trough 6 is full of fragments.
[0032] In one embodiment, an automatic placement and grasping mechanism can be set up, and a grasping structure such as a robotic arm of the existing technology can be used. In combination with the control system of the existing technology, the robotic arm can automatically grasp the glass wine bottle and place it in the support groove 3. After crushing, the robot arm can grasp and put it back, and repeat the above actions without manual operation, thereby realizing fully automatic operation.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
