Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a scrap metal processing device, in particular to a scrap metal baling machine. Background Art
[0002] The description in this section merely provides background information related to the disclosure of the present utility model and does not constitute prior art.
[0003] When a large amount of fragmented or individual scrap metals need to be processed and recycled, it is generally necessary to pack the scrap metals so that they are formed into high-density blocks under high pressure, so that other equipment can easily recycle and refine the packed block scrap metals. The existing packaging of scrap metals is generally divided into two steps. First, the scrap metal is squeezed from the side so that its projection direction size is compressed and limited, and then downward pressure is applied from the top of the scrap metal until it is formed. However, the existing scrap metal baling machine that adopts the above steps completes multiple steps in the same cavity space, so the packaging strength is not high, and because the top downward pressure equipment occupies more space, it is also impossible to monitor the scrap metal from the top, and the customer's traceability needs cannot be met.
[0004] There is currently no scrap metal baler that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a scrap metal baler that can extrude scrap metal in three steps to achieve a higher packing density, and the double-chamber design leaves the top uncovered for easy monitoring.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model discloses the following scrap metal baler for baling scrap metal; the scrap metal baler comprises:
[0007] The body comprises a first chamber with no top cover and a second chamber with a top cover, the first chamber and the second chamber being connected and used to store the scrap metal; the first chamber has a first side and a second side that are adjacent to each other at different angles, the first side of the first chamber avoiding the second chamber, and the second side of the first chamber being connected to one side of the second chamber;
[0008] a first compression mechanism connected to a first side of the first chamber, the first compression mechanism comprising a first driving mechanism and a first push plate, the first driving mechanism being configured to drive the first push plate to move from the first side of the first chamber toward the second chamber;

[0010] a third compression mechanism connected to the top of the second chamber, the third compression mechanism comprising a third driving mechanism and a third push plate, the third driving mechanism being configured to drive the third push plate to push from the top of the second chamber toward the second chamber;
[0011] A monitoring mechanism, wherein the monitoring mechanism is disposed on the top of the first chamber and is disposed toward the first chamber;
[0012] The monitoring mechanism is connected to the identification mechanism by signal, and is used to monitor all the scrap metals in a fragmented state before compression, and transmit images of the scrap metals to the identification mechanism, so that the identification mechanism determines and feeds back the quality grade of the scrap metals;
[0013] At the same time, the monitoring mechanism has a first coverage range so that the monitoring mechanism can also collect the following information, including but not limited to the identity of the on-site operator, the license plate of the vehicle used to transport the scrap metal, and the outline of the packaged scrap metal.
[0014] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism includes a bracket, at least one dome camera, and at least one gun-type camera; the bracket is installed on the main body, the dome camera and the gun-type camera are fixedly arranged at the top position of the bracket, and the dome camera and the gun-type camera are arranged toward the top of the first chamber.

[0017] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism also includes a lighting lamp, which is arranged adjacent to the dome camera.

[0019] Furthermore, the first chamber is configured as a rectangular chamber, and the angle between the first side and the second side of the first chamber is ninety degrees.
[0020] By means of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0021] The scrap metal baler of the present invention can extrude the scrap metal in three steps, using the first compression mechanism and the second compression mechanism to extrude the side edges of the scrap metal, and using the third packaging mechanism to extrude the metal in the vertical direction, thereby achieving a higher packaging density. The dual-chamber design makes the top uncovered, making it easy to set the monitoring mechanism directly facing the top position of the first chamber, and to achieve full traceability with a simple structure, which helps to monitor the quality of the scrap metal. At the same time, with the help of the monitoring mechanism set at the packaging position of the present application, the quality grade of the scrap metal can be recorded during the packaging stage, which is convenient for subsequent tracking and helps to trace the scrap metal throughout the entire process, thus avoiding the need to package the scrap metal multiple times due to logistics needs and quality grade review.

[0030] See Figure 1-2 , is a scrap metal baler of this embodiment, used for baling scrap metal; wherein the scrap metal baler comprises:
[0031] The main body 1 has a first chamber 11 without a top and a second chamber 12 with a top. The first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are connected and are used to store scrap metal. The first chamber 11 has a first side and a second side that are adjacent to each other at different angles. The first side of the first chamber 11 avoids the second chamber 12, and the second side of the first chamber 11 is connected to one side of the second chamber 12.
[0032] The first compression mechanism 2 is connected to the first side of the first chamber 11 and includes a first driving mechanism 21 and a first push plate 22. The first driving mechanism 21 is used to drive the first push plate 22 from the first side of the first chamber 11 toward the second chamber 12.
[0033] The second compression mechanism 3 is connected to the first side of the first chamber 11 and one side of the second chamber 12. The second compression mechanism 3 includes a second driving mechanism 31 and a second push plate 32. The second driving mechanism 31 is used to drive the second push plate 32 from the first side of the first chamber 11 and one side of the second chamber 12 toward the second chamber 12.
[0034] The third compression mechanism 4 is connected to the top of the second chamber 12 and includes a third driving mechanism 41 and a third push plate 42. The third driving mechanism 41 is used to drive the third push plate 42 from the top of the second chamber 12 toward the second chamber 12.
[0035] The monitoring mechanism 5 is disposed on the top of the first chamber 11 and is disposed toward the first chamber 11;
[0036] The monitoring mechanism 5 is connected to the identification mechanism by signal. The monitoring mechanism 5 is used to monitor all scrap metals in a fragmented state before compression and transmit the images of the scrap metals to the identification mechanism so that the identification mechanism can determine and feedback the quality grade of the scrap metals.
[0037] At the same time, the monitoring mechanism 5 has a first coverage range, so that the monitoring mechanism can also collect the following information, including but not limited to the identity of the on-site operator, the license plate of the vehicle used to transport the scrap metal, and the outline of the baled scrap metal. Through the above structure, when in use, the operator only needs to place the scrap metal to be processed in the first chamber 11 of the main body 1. The first chamber 11 adopts a topless design, so the placement method can be selected to fill it into the first chamber 11 from top to bottom. Then, the scrap metal baler is started. First, the first compression mechanism 2 starts to run. The first drive mechanism 21 pushes the first push plate 22 in the direction of the second chamber 12, so that the first push plate 22 pushes the scrap metal in the first chamber 11 into the second chamber 12 until the preset stroke size is reached. The first drive mechanism 21 stops running. At this time, the scrap metal is confined to the second chamber 12 and partially deformed. Then, the third compression mechanism 4 starts to run. The second drive mechanism 31 drives the second push plate 32 to press down, so that the scrap metal in the second chamber 12 It is pressed down in the vertical direction to a preset size, and the second driving mechanism 31 stops running. At this time, the scrap metal is squeezed in the vertical direction in the second chamber 12 and limited by the first push plate 22 and the third push plate 42. Finally, the second driving mechanism 31 of the second compression mechanism 3 starts running and pushes the second push plate 32 to complete the final squeezing of the scrap metal, so that under the limitation of the first push plate 22, the second push plate 32, the third push plate 42 and part of the outer frame edge of the main body 1, all the scrap metal is squeezed into the preset shape, completing the packaging operation, so as to facilitate the next step of recycling processing.
[0038] During the above process, due to the uncovered design of the first chamber 11, the entire process of the first compression mechanism 2 compressing the scrap metal into the second chamber 12 is visible. The monitoring mechanism 5, located on top of the scrap metal, records the entire process, enabling traceability. Specifically, before the fragmented scrap metal is compressed, the monitoring mechanism 5 can collect information about the scrap metal and transmit it to the identification mechanism. This information can then be used to infer the scrap metal's quality grade based on factors such as the proportion of garbage and the proportion of various materials in the scrap metal pile. Furthermore, after the scrap metal is packaged, the monitoring mechanism 5 can also capture the specific shape and size of the packaged result and mark it accordingly for subsequent tracking.
[0039] The above structure achieves high-quality scrap metal packaging through three compression operations: from the side, from the top, and then from the side again, using the first compression mechanism 2, the second compression mechanism 3, and the third compression mechanism 4. Compared to existing methods, which use one side compression and one top compression, this embodiment achieves higher scrap metal compression quality. Furthermore, due to the partitioned design of the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, the first chamber 11 is uncovered, providing better visibility from the top. This allows the monitoring mechanism 5 to record the entire process of the scrap metal being squeezed, thus achieving traceability. Existing single-chamber designs require the active area of the top compression mechanism to completely cover the chamber, making it difficult to place the monitoring mechanism at the top of the chamber, or increasing costs.
[0040] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51, at least one dome camera 52, and at least one gun-type camera 53. The bracket 51 is mounted on the main body 1, with the dome camera 52 and the gun-type camera 53 fixedly mounted on top of the bracket 51, facing the top of the first chamber 11. The monitoring mechanism 5 also includes a display panel 54, fixedly mounted on top of the bracket 51, and connected to the dome camera 52 and the gun-type camera 53. There are two dome cameras 52 and one gun-type camera 53, with the two dome cameras 52 equidistantly positioned on either side of each gun-type camera 53. With this structure, the dome camera 52 and the gun-type camera 53 can record the entire process of the scrap metal being placed before the first compression mechanism 2 compresses it. The same recording is also performed during the process of the first push plate 22 compressing the scrap metal into the second chamber 12. Movable dome cameras 52 are placed on both sides to maximize coverage, enabling recording of activities throughout the entire area. Stable fixed gun cameras 53 directly record the compression process. During operation, a display panel 54 directly displays relevant information, such as live internal details or intuitively presenting current parameters, to minimize unexpected situations.
[0041] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism 5 also includes a lighting lamp 55, which is arranged near the dome camera 52. The lighting lamp 55 can be used to supplement the interior of the first chamber 11 which is relatively dark and without light, so as to assist in achieving better image acquisition effects.
[0042] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 The top edge of the first chamber 11 is covered with a circle of enclosure 13 that gradually expands outward from the inside of the first chamber 11. The setting of the enclosure 13 can prevent the leakage of scrap metal when the operator places the scrap metal, so that the scrap metal can be effectively poured into the first chamber 11.
[0043] Furthermore, the first chamber 11 is configured as a rectangular cavity, and the angle between the first side and the second side of the first chamber 11 is ninety degrees. That is, the final packaged scrap metal in this embodiment is a rectangular body, which is easier to extrude and process, and with the cooperation of the monitoring mechanism 5, the quality of its extrusion is easier to monitor.
