Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) production, in particular to an EPDM rubber particle recovery box. Background Art

[0002] The production and synthesis of EPDM is a continuous process. After the rubber granules are synthesized, they typically undergo a series of post-processing steps to remove moisture. The dried rubber granules are then transported to a briquetting machine for compaction and packaging. If an anomaly occurs during the briquetting process, production cannot be halted due to its continuous nature. In this case, the rubber granules must be temporarily transported to a container and returned to the production line for further compaction once the subsequent process resumes.

[0003] The temperature of the post-processed rubber particles is relatively high, and when they are stored in ordinary containers, they are prone to lumping. Since the size of the lumps formed by the rubber particles is consistent with the size of the container cavity, when the lumps are crushed and recycled using a crusher, they are too large to enter the crusher. Therefore, the lumps taken out of the container cannot be directly crushed and recycled, resulting in a large amount of material waste. Therefore, when using containers to store the above-mentioned rubber particles, the stored rubber particles need to be transferred immediately, and the above method requires the participation of multiple people, which is not only labor-intensive but also costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides an EPDM rubber particle recovery box, which solves the problem that the rubber particles are aggregated into a whole block after entering the container and cannot be recovered.

[0005] The technical solutions to the above technical problems are as follows:

[0006] An EPDM rubber particle recovery box includes a box body and a distributor. The distributor includes a partition and a cloth assembly for dispersing and guiding rubber particles. There are multiple partitions, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cloth assembly. One end of the partition is fixed to the cloth assembly, and the other end of the partition is matched with the inner wall of the box body. A receiving cavity for receiving rubber particles is formed between two adjacent partitions, the box body and the cloth assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the box body includes multiple columns, a lower frame, multiple door panels, locks, and a bottom plate. The columns are fixed to the lower frame, a door panel is hinged on each column, the bottom plate is fixed to the columns and the lower frame, the fabric assembly is fixed to the bottom plate, and the locks are respectively arranged on the columns and the door panels.

[0008] Furthermore, the lock includes a lock block with a socket, a guide seat, and a bolt that is combined with or separated from the socket on the lock block. The lock block is fixed on the column, the guide seat is fixed on the door panel, and the bolt is clearance-matched with the guide seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom plate includes a plurality of folding plates with folded portions, which surround the fabric assembly, and one end of the folding plate is provided with a first plug-in component for connecting to the fabric assembly, and the other end of the folding plate is connected to the box body.

[0010] Furthermore, the cloth assembly includes a spherical component and a columnar component for dispersing and guiding rubber particles. The spherical component is fixed to one end of the columnar component. The columnar component is provided with a first mounting hole for cooperating with the partition, and the columnar component is also provided with a second mounting hole for cooperating with the box.

[0011] Furthermore, the partition includes a partition body, and one end of the partition body is provided with a second plug-in component for connecting with the fabric assembly.

[0012] In the present invention, after a receiving cavity for receiving rubber particles is formed between two adjacent partitions and the box body and the cloth assembly, when a number of rubber particles fall, these rubber particles preferentially fall on the surface of the spherical component, and the rubber particles slide downward along the surface of the spherical component and then enter into each receiving cavity. As the number of rubber particles in the receiving cavity increases and the rubber particles are inherently sticky, the rubber particles in the receiving cavity will also agglomerate. However, since the volume of the receiving cavity is much smaller than that of the container in the background technology, after the rubber particles agglomerate in the receiving cavity, they can enter the crusher for crushing, thereby recycling and reusing the rubber particles to avoid material waste.

[0013] The advantages of this invention are that the discharged rubber particles do not need to be immediately recovered (previously, they would clump together and be unrecoverable). This means that the rubber particles can be left for a period of time before being removed from the receiving chamber. Furthermore, this invention only requires one operator to receive the rubber particles (previously, at least three operators were required), and the small size of the rubber particles makes removal and transport more convenient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the EPDM rubber particle recovery box of the present invention includes a box body 1 and a distributor. Each part is described in detail below.

[0024] The box body 1 comprises multiple columns 1a, a lower frame 1b, multiple door panels 1c, locks, and a base plate. The columns 1a are fixed to the lower frame 1b, with a door panel 1c hinged to each column 1a. The base plate is fixed to the columns 1a and the lower frame 1b. The lower frame 1b consists of crossbeams and longitudinal beams fixed to the crossbeams. When the crossbeams and longitudinal beams are connected, they are perpendicular to each other. The fabric assembly is fixed to the base plate. Locks are attached to the columns 1a and door panels 1c, respectively. The locks can be used to lock the door panels 1c to the columns 1a. When the locks are released, the door panels 1c can rotate around the hinged joint.

[0025] The lock comprises a lock block 1d with a socket, a guide base 1e, and a latch 1f that engages or disengages with the socket in the lock block 1d. The lock block 1d is fixed to the pillar 1a, and the guide base 1e is fixed to the door panel 1c. The latch 1f has a clearance fit with the guide base 1e. The latch 1f is provided with a handle 1k. Applying a pushing force to the latch 1f with the handle 1k causes the latch 1f to engage with the socket in the lock block 1d, thereby locking the door panel 1c to the pillar 1a. Applying a pulling force opposite to the pushing force to the latch 1f with the handle 1k causes the latch 1f to disengage from the socket in the lock block 1d, thereby releasing the lock between the door panel 1c and the pillar 1a.

[0026] The bottom plate comprises multiple folded plates 1g with folds 1h. These folded plates 1g surround the fabric assembly, giving the bottom plate a tapered shape. One end of each folded plate 1g is provided with a first plug-in component 1i for connecting to the fabric assembly, and the other end of each folded plate 1g is connected to the box body 1. A space 1j is defined between adjacent folded plates 1g.

[0027] The distributor includes a partition 2 and a cloth assembly for dispersing and guiding rubber particles. There are multiple partitions 2, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cloth assembly. One end of the partition 2 is fixed to the cloth assembly, and the other end of the partition 2 is matched with the inner wall of the box 1. A receiving cavity 3 for receiving rubber particles is formed between two adjacent partitions 2, the box 1 and the cloth assembly.

[0028] The partition 2 comprises a partition body 2a, one end of which is provided with a second plug-in component 2b for connecting to the fabric assembly. The partition body 2a passes through the space 1j and engages with the lower frame 1b, which supports the partition body 2a. The partition body 2a and the folding plate 1g are preferably fixed together by welding. This is equivalent to fixing ribs on the lower portion of the folding plate 1g, providing support for the folding plate 1g and enhancing its strength.

[0029] The cloth assembly includes a spherical component 4 and a columnar component 5 for dispersing and guiding rubber particles. The spherical component 4 is fixed to one end of the columnar component 5. The columnar component 5 is provided with a first mounting hole 5a for cooperating with the partition 2, and the columnar component 5 is also provided with a second mounting hole 5b for cooperating with the box body 1.

[0030] The second plug-in component 2b plugs into the first mounting hole 5a, and the first plug-in component 1i plugs into the second mounting hole 5b. This relationship allows the partition 2 to be pre-positioned with the column 5, and the folding plate 1g to be pre-positioned with the column 5. The partition 2 and column 5 are then welded together, and the folding plate 1g is then welded together. The entire assembly, consisting of the fabric assembly, bottom plate, and partition 2, is then inserted into the box 1. In this embodiment, there are 16 partitions 2, and the column 5 has a hexagonal cross-section.

[0031] In the present invention, after a receiving cavity 3 for receiving rubber particles is formed between two adjacent partitions 2 and the box body 1 and the cloth assembly, when the rubber particles fall, the rubber particles preferentially fall on the surface of the spherical component 4, and the rubber particles slide downward along the surface of the spherical component 4, and then enter each receiving cavity 3. As the rubber particles in the receiving cavity 3 increase, and the rubber particles are inherently sticky, the rubber particles in the receiving cavity 3 will also agglomerate. However, since the volume of the receiving cavity 3 is much smaller than the volume of the container in the background technology, after the rubber particles agglomerate in the receiving cavity 3, they can enter the crusher for crushing, thereby recycling and reusing the rubber particles to avoid material waste.

[0032] In the present invention, when it is necessary to remove the rubber granule block from the receiving cavity 3, a pull is applied to the latch 1f using the handle 1k, causing the latch 1f to separate from the socket on the lock block 1d, thereby releasing the lock between the door panel 1c and the pillar 1a. Since the door panel 1c blocks the receiving cavities 3 corresponding to the door panel 1c, rotating the door panel 1c after unlocking releases the blockage in the receiving cavities 3 corresponding to the door panel 1c, allowing the rubber granule block to be removed.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described implementation methods are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, let alone the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
